And no administration will be perfect. The problems in this country have built up over many many years. We had two bubbles popping- both the housing market and the stock market were over valued, and I guess you could also say we had a bubble of consumerism. I've always been amazed at the folks who took our loans on their homes for vacations and motor homes and crap. I don't get that. I wasn't raised that way. So there will be some pain to expiate the sins of the bubbles. As I've always said, I voted for Obama primarily for the supreme court picks he would make, anything else beneficial that he does is just gravy. But since I'm a democratic socialist none of the socialism stuff bugs me the way it does the folks who swallowed Atlas Shrugged and who want to shag Hank or Dagny, or maybe HAnk AND Dagny.
