Tectol....I agree with your take on things.....the reason Obama is doing what he's been doing is that the alternative would be disastrous. And we HAVE been living away beyond our means. I wrote an article that I will post in OT, but very simpley put, Corporate America (the west), and the huge retail market, can't survive without the public spending money, and the public can't survive spending anywhere near the money they have been spending.....thus, we are at an impass. A catch 22.

To say that the liberals are going to ruin the country, well that has already been accomplished by the previous Administration, and by the blatant and criminal behaviour of the forces that drove the capitalistic system to where it is today.
