I have been rationalizing all this for way too long. I tried to rationalize the votes for war out of the fact that it was "authorization to use force"...but too many have been way too quiet about what's going on recently. At this point, the war is truly outrageous on all accounts. Outrage is the only possible response.

Where are the dems who should be screaming in outrage about social security "reform"? 20% of full time working people have pension plans, with the number sinking each day. Our prized possession of technology is being sold to China, who is soon to be the next superpower. How will we get any technological infrastructure back?

We're witnessing our country coming apart at the seams. My recent research concentrates on the national debt and the interest paid each year. Why can't the dems put forth a "Perot" like presentation which shows how this country will soon be paying 1 Trillion dollars a year ON INTEREST on the debt after it grows to 12 Trillion and interest rates potentially go to 5%? At that point, it's all over, with interest being the lion's share of all outlays.

The public is oblivious to this mass incompetence. Where are our representatives in this? It's reached a level of overall rollover that I never thought was possible.
