I'm sorry I didn't mean to open the flood gates.  Here's my other 2 cents.

The problem here in the states is that politics has become a very profitable career choice.  I do not know a member of any political party that has ever had to eat at a soup line or worried about where the next rent payment was going to come from or had to really work at manual labor for minimum wage.  They are therefore out of touch with reality and the comman man.  However, they think they know best for those people.   Sorry until you've walked a day in my shoes you do not know.  So please stop telling me that the economy is getting better.

And a quick response to Greenspan raising rates to stop inflation....  It's not inflation dumbass, it's the rising cost of fuel due to the crooks ripping us all off.  1 year ago to Georgia had the lowest prices in the states for gas.  10 cents cheaper than anyone else around us.  Today we are all in the same price range...  Those around us did not lower prices and we did not change gas regulations in this state.  So whats that mean?  PRICE GOUGING  but will anything be done NOPE....

I hear ya, brother.  I believe that term limitations are the answer to that (which will never happen either). Then those bastards like Ted Kennedy (democrat) and Mitch McConnell (republican) wouldn't be in it for the money and power.

I'd also like to see LESS government, because it gets proven time and time again that everything the government gets involved in gets completely screwed up. Like I said earlier, our government needs to stop trying to be the provider for all our social woes, and just be the watchdog to keep big business and crooked attorneys in line with strict rules and regulations. We'd all be better off, and things would take care of themselves, especially medical care.
