I fear that we'll see the newly elected Tea Party members quickly fall prey to the ways of Washington. I was really disappointed in the silence from newly elected officials when the trial balloons were floated by the "Debt Commission". You would have thought that they would have jumped at the chance to show their eagerness to support one or more of the proposals that were advanced. What an opportunity for a new face to get press coverage. Nothing but crickets .... Are they already afraid to take a position on the hard choices that inevitably need to be made? Do they already fear that any comment on delicate issues might jeopardize their re-election prospects .... this before even being sworn in? Maybe politicians have made me too cynical but I'll need to see some pretty convincing behavior changes before I begin to give ANY politician the benefit of my doubt. Pat

Let's hope that you are correct. Yes Soros along with his sock-puppet Obama and his minion, have intentionally castrated the USA at least through 2013. Thankfully the general public seems to have awakened and are disenchanted with Obama -- but it may be too late. I share John's pessimism. It seems to me that there are far too many complex, independent and uncontrollable variables in play across the world for anyone to be optimistic. Years ago these stimuli, with the necessity of rapid and correct response, did not occur in the density we are seeing today. One might hypothesize that a collective decisional overload is rapidly overtaking humanity. An incorrect, but catastrophic, decisional response is increasing in probability and may be statistical certainty. Interesting times ahead.
