We better hold on for the ride.
And with our federal government borrowing over 4 million dollars every minute of everyday.
This country's problem's are compounding in every second I guess that is what happens when Europe's lead is followed.

No two ways about it we are ALL in trouble. I would like to know how many conservatives did not register/vote over the several years because they had no "time" and/or had better things to do?? ;)

A few days ago I watched Mr. William (Bill) Bennet, former Sec of Ed & Director of National Drug Control Policy, under Bush 1, on Fox News.
 
Mr. Bennet stated that it would take the voters about 1 year to appreciate just how bad the Obama administration was/is.
 
That will happen only when major fiscal hurt occurs on those infatuated by the specious line of B.S that has been flung at them by the administration and their chronies. Possibly more scandals like Fast and Furious and the Benghazi situation might be opened up beyond the point of denial and avoidance.
 
There is hope for the mid term elections in 2014 provided the Republicans get their act together and promote conservatism.
 
A worthy goal would be to get a veto proof majority in both the house & senate.

The only thing that's going to wake people up is a complete monetary and fiscal collapse with a sovereign default, de facto or de jure.

And that's just what we're going to get by the time the 2014 elections arrive.

Forget about Mordor on the Potomac. Think about how you're going to help save your State. And if it's not worth saving, now's the time to move.

We've got two years at best.
The older I get, the better I feel about tearing up parking tickets and cheating on my taxes.

Ya, the ONLY way out of this through this is hitting rock bottom. Our addiction to debt has made the federal government overstep... it's in their nature.

We need quite to feeding the junky and let it run it's course... the sooner the better.

Amazing how folks that cannot run a $90 thousand family budget are put in charge of some agencies $7.8 million budget. "Get Washington on the phone and fix this"

Alexis de Tocqueville sure looks like some ascetic intellectual that could provide much insight on todays mess.
 
I would prefer to head off a disaster rather than to submit to the consequences. We can think of the Jimmy Carter years with 15% plus mortgages, 18% "all savers accounts" then followed by a land slide defeat. Then followed by fundamental cooperation at the hands of Pres. Regan and Speaker O'Neil.

That should be President Reagan.
Donald Regan was the Treasury Secretary then and I don't think he sold many treasury notes or bonds to the Federal Reserve (manipulation?).

On January 29, 2013 and February 2, 2013 certain events will take place - the State of the Union Address and Ground Hog Day.
 
The first is a periodic ordained event or ritual presented by some individual having no abilities including that of prognostication surrounded by other individuals fearful of their shadows.
 
The other involves a wood chuck, Punxsutawney Phil.

Dang, you messed that up. It's supposed to be:

On January 29, 2013 and February 2, 2013 certain events will take place - the State of the Union Address and Ground Hog Day.
 
========================================================
One is a periodic ordained event or ritual presented by some individual having no abilities including that of prognostication; surrounded by other individuals fearful of their shadows.
 
The other involves a wood chuck, named Punxsutawney Phil.
========================================================

 I sentence you to 20 minutes in the corner without eggnog and 1.5 pieces of Fruitcake.

Yes, but many of those participating in the Tuesday, January 29, 2013 event are Fruitcakes.
