up. But you've got to judge the "lesser of 2 evils" at least the republicans have in their base the more fiscally conservative constituency vs the dems where it is the titanic heading to the ice. So their is hope.
Who to assign most of the blame to, I don't know, I tend to think about that principle in politics it is easier to help a few people alot and make everyone pay a little, then to save everyone, and have a few people really hurt. Ultimately now anyone who is in the game wants to be there for power, greed ego or whatever.

You know those turkeys out of office get 100 grand a year to entertain themselves?
