jobs, etc., and use those as my campaign spots. Isn't Fiorina running on a "let's get jobs" ticket?

And, I'd use the headlines from the news about how god-awful Fiorina was.

Do these people not pay the least bit of attention?

I heard on Thom Hartmann this morning that a friend of his, an economist, wrote a book called The New Golden Age, and it's essentially that everything will go to hell, then we'll come to our senses and begin again. He said that's what happened during FDR's admin and (I think) Teddy Roosevelt's. I've been saying that for a long time, we are so far over the edge we can't keep putting band aids on here and there. The problems are systemic and we need to kill the virus. That's why I voted for Perot (I know) but I was willing to have the rug pulled out from under us so we could get our shit together and begin doing what was right. And that was all those years ago! Don't know what would have happened, but we probably wouldn't have had NAFTA.

Think I'm going to get that book. I'm depressed already.
