"The republicans and democrats have let us down." Yes they have. NEITHER Party has an ounce of fiscal conservatism in them. They both are ultra-liberal deficit spenders. We would be far better of if we could turn out ALL the elected officials in Washington... and start fresh. But, with the reelection rate for incumbents in the House of Representatives being OVER 98%, that will never happen until some huge crisis forces the public to turn against the pols in Washington. [Not counting interest payments, federal spending rose 29 percent in three years. Only Lyndon Johnson ever spent taxpayers’ dollars faster than Bush’s first three budgets. Every year the Republican Congress spent more money than the president requested, but Bush didn’t veto a single appropriations bill.]
