Lots of people out here want business as usual...They have conflicts of interest etc. Temporary profits regardless of consequences...It’s all that matters.

You could wipe out every federal department except for DoD and Social Security and Medicare and still not come close to resolving this debt problem long term. The interest on the debt alone will be too great by 2020 the way the feds are currently spending and borrowing. I’m not too hopeful that the ship will get righted regardless of who is elected in ‘12. The problem has grown too massive.
