Our government put the blinders on, and let the horse run away with the plow, and instead of pulling hard on the reins and stopping that horse, Bush and Obama kept their blinders on, and just filled the feed trough. And gave that horse more energy to continue to run amok. Have banks been put back in their place? NO. What of credit cards? They passed a credit bill, but when does it take effect? Next f'in' year! WTF! What's the result? Banks are raising their rates before the law goes into effect, which is only making the problems WORSE! Our government regardless of political stripe has treated us, the American people (citizen or not) like a bunch of stuck pigs, hanging upside down, just ichin' to be bled out.

I get the district feeling our government is testing our moxie, just how much will we take, before we take our government to the mat.

We are in the midst of an economic emergency, shouldn't our government act like it? My problem with all the partisanship is that I don't see any real ideas on either side of the aisle that will do anything to bring this economy back into check. Look what happened in California, they kicked out Gray, and put in Arnie, and what did they get? Bankruptcy.
