Hi Tenchusatsu; Re: "But the real fixes will have to come in the form of bitter medicines that I don't think anyone in politics has the courage to pursue."; Of course you're right. But the correct time to take that bitter medicine is when the economy is booming. Not when times are as sucky as they are right now. Bad economic times automatically tend to put the Democrats in power because people with no jobs, or in prospect of soon losing theirs, can read the papers and know which party will be extending unemployment benefits and which will not. We're just lucky that it's the Democrats in power now, if it weren't, all the crap that's going on now would be blamed on the Republicans and it would be that much worse for us down the road. As it is, the Democrats own all the Obamacare fiasco and I think that will resonate with the average voter better than any recent voting issue. It hits them directly in the pocketbook. Sure everybody wants the poor to have healthcare but nobody actually wants to pay for it. November is going to be very very good for the Republicans. Junkyard dogs are going to get elected running against Democrats. -- Carl
