And almost every Administration from the Hoover/FDR days has added just a little bit more to the Nation’s deficit and now we are where we are - in one big mess. The sad part is the politicians that got us here have learned absolutely nothing, and should we work our way out of this current disaster, it will only be a short time before we will face another, even larger, mess.

.......The sad part is the politicians that got us here have learned absolutely nothing.......

I respectfully disagree.
They have learned a lot!
They've learned very well how to line their own pockets and the citizens be damned.
