Quite right Alan. Blaming the leaders is silly. By themselves, they are just a large primate. People vote for them to be the boss. <As many are pointing out repeatedly, Governments (this one, the last one, the one before that) only appear incompetent because you mistake their goal. They are actually quite competent. They are doing just fine, thank you very much. The incompetence is in you and me > Voting for Obama to be the boss then whining when he does what he said he'd do is absurd. Ron Paul, for example, was offering to be POTUS but Americans preferred Obamamania and tingles up their legs. So it's hardly surprising that they got what they voted for. If Goldman Sachs had gone broke, and the creditors took possession, and sold it to me for $1, I'd have been happy to take it over. Giving Fannie and Freddie an open cheque book is a joke. I wanted to buy 1000 houses in California but now they are too expensive because tax payers are paying for the dead-beat debtors to keep possession. Mqurice
