Excellent article..... Well Done, Joe....

I dont know why we call these people "elitist". They actually know less than the rest of us. While, we "Not" in politics, have had to hold jobs, be physically responsible, own businesses and responsible for our taxes, employees etc.
Politicians have not.
Politics seems the place to go, if you cannot hold a job, want to party [fundraise] all the time, and fill yourself with self importance and not get arrested for your criminal acts.
If our children said, they aspire to be parasites, we would have kicked them in the butt and made them get a job. To see how REAL people live in this country and see what great things you can achieve. Taxes were to help the govt. raise and pay for protection, print money, and run the post office. It was become a disease that needs a cure.

I see the Tea party, 9-12 and liberty groups, the cure for the disease that has infected our govt.

Today. Barney Franks suggested they shut freddy & fannie down and start over.
We actually could have taken the bail out money,
Paid off the house note to fred and Fan. Let the people have the houses free and clear. The macs would have had there money back. people wouldnt have lost there homes.
Then go to each bank and pay the note of 1 house per family directly to the banks.
The lenders would have the money they need to loan out again - no tarp.
People would have a home wilthout a note, they would go out and spend, reviving the economy.
The ones with out jobs would have able to stay in there homes, and get unemployment for food and utilities.

And still not have spent as much as he did. It is all poor planing and crisis management.

I think, today the market fell down.
Every time OB opens his mouth, the market drops.
