Bucco,

I think a lot of us are downright terrified right now. We are just coming at this thing from different directions.

While all those Republicans I voted for had all that power, they did nothing to address healthcare and so many other issues that everyday Americans are finding it harder and harder to face. And with their failure to address the healthcare issue, Congress is pulling the rug out from under small business.

And lobbyists have partnered with the elected in a dance with the devil that pushed so far beyond the limits of conscience that we decent people cannot begin to fathom how far this has gone -- and will go.

And it all makes me sick. And terrified. And that terror includes the knowing that I will be taxed into oblivion somehow and that all those taxes will still not do any good.

Trickle down economics somehow became the economics of an all-powerful Congress lifting its hind leg and hosing the American people like they have never been hosed before.

Oh, Bucco, you are not the Lone Ranger in that scared thing.

"Gimme gridlock," is what my dad used to always say.
