Politicians are not to blame for this, too many of the American people are. We have to redress racial inequality from years and years ago, we have to have fairness in asset and wealth, we cannot afford to have a recession that clears out excess, we cannot have a big company fail and we cannot allow people to accept responsibility for themselves. If you stand up and say you disagree then you are called greedy, uncompassionate, racist or anything else they can throw at you.

I am hoping that I can save enough money and have enough resources to deal with what is coming ahead.

Unfortunately, I don't think current monies is going to be worth very much in dealing with what's coming ahead.

Yes they are...When they chose to stick their collective fingers in the wind...instead of LEAD! When they chose to play "how can I get re-elected politics"...instead of doing the RIGHT THING FOR OUR COUNTRY!!

Yes, of course there are MILLIONS of sheeple clamoring for the things you mention...but it takes leaders to direct them to the truth about life.

Term limits would be a good start...IMO.

Rant off....: )

Oh, yes, my friend, "politicians" are to blame, but, no more so than the other side of the equation, "the American people." The current mess could not have teetered so long, in relative equilibrium, without like amounts of responsibility (or blame, if you prefer) being heaped on each side of the scale.

I'm afraid it's not money that you should be saving. I'm hedging my own bets, that's for sure!
