From what I have read it seems that lee and over are both right.  Government has let spending get out of control, people have elected government.  both right.  You can change it by voting in people that will change spending, or we can keep going down the same path we are on now.

I don't blame republicans or democrats for the problems we as a nation face right now.  the reason is because they both created it.  It will take both parties to fix this mess, i just don't think either is willing to help the other at this point in time.

By the way we are up to 37 failed banks so far this year.

Uncontrolled spending by government is nothing new.I was alive in the 1970's and saw first hand what happened when the government printed money to pay for the vietnam war.Prices rose on everything (homes,Rv's).1979 saw $850 an ounce gold and $50.00 an ounce silver(Hunt brothers buying the silver here).Now its J.P. Morgan shorting it in 2010.I found a link to a "grow dome".If we all could build our own greenhouse to grow food in.It could look something like this.http://halfpasthuman.com/Growdome/Growdome09.htm

I disagree with the current level of violence against our elected officials.Vote them out of office if you want.I have nothing against that.But bricks through the windows and bullets through the door make you a criminal.Pure and simple.Today I heard someone fired a shot into an elected officials office somewhere.We are not fighting Nazis here.triffid

The healthcare issue was personal for Obama as he saw his mother battle insurance companies to the (her) end from cancer.Some of us might have forgotten that or never knew it.My own mother died from cancer in 1994.So I can relate.Triffid
