It will get worse. unless either there is a dramatic turnaround in the next three weeks, or people are lying to pollsters. |

Rep Power: 4 | | | A country can't do anything for anybody, a State can. And in times of crisis, people look to the state, because that's really the thing it's there for originally: deal with crises. That's what everybody is doing to some degree, because doing absolutely nothing can be catastrophic.

Rep Power: 43 | | | I find it almost amusing to watch the people who've been supporting the people who have dragged out nation down, flailing about, trying desperatly to find some scapegoat to explain the complete failure of the leaders you guys put into power.
Face it neocons supporters, your leaders were idiots (or worse), and you were idiots (or worse) to support them.
Everything they touched turned to dust because their governance theories are based on mistaken notions about society generally and economics very specifically.
Trickle down economics is disasterous for this nation.
It was a failure this time, it will always be a failure because the wealthy do not create wealth, the workers do. So if you do not take care of the workers eventually they do not have the resources to continue creating wealth.
The rich you've been sucking up to all this time have nothing but contempt for you and for the nation you all profess to love. The Rich you've been sucking up to are not Atlases holding up the world, they're parsites which suck the lifeforce out of the societies they gain control over.
You were completely and totally wrong to support people whose contempt for you and yours is now so very very obvious.
Your brand of laisse fair capitalism is a complete and utter disaster, exactly as many of us have ben telling you it would be for years, now.
