That's the interesting thing about this crisis. Tea partiers are mad as hell. Liberals are mad as hell. Centrists are mad as hell. Everybody is upset and the blame is going all over the place.I guess that's what I was wondering (just thinking outloud)...we may have folks rioting over decreased entitlements on the one hand, & people protesting just the opposite, the out-of-control spending on entitlement programs, on the other hand
And all the people are blaming the government when most folk act just like them. Hard to really blame them when they were knowingly voted in and most of the people want the freebies they are promising. They ARE representing exactly what America currently is.Theo said:That's the interesting thing about this crisis. Tea partiers are mad as hell. Liberals are mad as hell. Centrists are mad as hell.

People here seem to have a bit more sense, but in general, the government is what people ask for.
