Is anyone making book yet on how quickly VP-elect Biden goes "under the bus"? I realise that past performance doesn't provide an actual prediction of future trends, but it's still a pretty good way to bet.
If it wasn't going to be so expensive, the next couple years would otherwise promise ROFL, teary-eyed entertainment watching our new political "leadership" compete for dominance with each other.
Serial "Night of the Long Knives" anyone?*

Yet, Obama has to find the money to pay for all the previous administrations errors and bungling - and the only people that will pay are the US taxpayers, not the people that created the mess.
ReplyDeleteBills to pay: Invasion of Iraq - $1 Trillion and counting, payout of recent economic bungle $750 Billion...the list goes on and on. Who do you think HAS to pay this???
As you so shyly note, footing the existing bill is going to be a burden. I can't think adding to that is in any way going to make for improvement.
ReplyDeleteGiven the 1/2 century trend by all members of federal government to ignore and mis-state the fiscal and regulatory realities the US has created for itself, I'm down to hoping that a sufficiencey of technological singularity events will occur in time to exponentially increase our capabilities sufficiently to make our current deficit state a moot issue. See? Hope and Change for everybody!
