I first suspected in December that the politicians on both sides knew it could not be fixed when they agreed to that ridiculous 1 trilllion dollar tax and spending deal. The obvious right thing to do was no deal at all, and with the increased tax revenue and no more spending that would have been at least a step in the right direction....
but no.. they made a deal and both got what they wanted... and the deficit balloons another trillion. They knew and now the repubs are going to fix it starting with 60 billion, and the dems with 10 billion.. 2 months after they added that trillion...
come on...
I guess I should just live it up with Charlie Sheen and buy ruby ridge. That babe on Geraldo looked pretty good.

The country's in bad shape, but there's always hope, right? All we can do is write our representatives and urge them to vote for the bills proffered to reduce spending and to cut taxes, and help vote them out if they don't when the time comes. We need everyone to do this.
But in the meantime all we can do is live our lives today the best we can, and have the best time we can, while we can. Change what we can, and don't hang ourselves over what we can't.
