I understand your feeling, and embarrassingly share your pesssimism.
While I used to cringe at much of the Tea Party antics, I did think, in general, the reduction of the deficit and decreasing spending was a priority.
No body speaks that language any longer....I am afraid based on what we can read from economists, not politicians, the complete crash is closer than we think.
It is humorous that nobody speaks of it, as if the problem doesn't exist. This is not like a business,where you simply claim bankruptcy and start over.
