"If we can't take this little step of raising taxes on the "top 2 percent of Americans," then we're doomed." Why is anyone even QUESTIONING doing this? Jeez, the "top 2% of Americans" have been getting the lions share of the tax breaks for the last decade! Not only did Bush never cut any spending or veto any appropriations, he started 2 dumbass foreign wars OFF BUDGET that we're still unwinding.

"Peak pretending now joins peak oil, peak credit, peak rare earths, and all the other peaks visible to us humble valley dwellers. Pretending bought America two years of respite from the ravages of fraud and mismanagement, but now the true condition of this society reveals itself like the disfigured ghoul in the sewer lowering his mask. Further pretending is unnecessary now. We're even beyond the "modified limited hang-out" stance, as a long-ago presidential counselor once put his PR strategy in the face of crumbling public credulity. When nothing is believable, what's the point in even pretending?" kunstler.com
