Oh well...what's another trillion or so.
That's no surprise. It would also surprise me if he is able to get his healthcare reforms through given the massive financial failures of our country. In that respect, I wish Obama would keep his eye on the economic ball before it goes completely flat.

So curiously, does anyone here remember a time they were alive when they were as concerned about the economy? I am relatively young (38), and cannot remmeber a time when I thought we were so far in the crapper. I am just curious if my lack of appreciation is due to the fact that I have not seen as many winters?
