losing hope

Once again, I hear "progressives" saying, "Social Security is 'in trouble'!". (L. O'Donnell on Countdown) -- then, my HEAD EXPLODES -- again -- making it impossible to blog, to write, to believe ANYTHING damn near ANYONE says.

Then I read Krugman's column in The Times today (Monday) -- at least someone is making sense.

BUT --- The Democrats seem to want to concede the election to The-Party-Of-NO-and-of-NONSENSE.

Where has my country gone? Where are folks who give a damn about "main street"? It's NOT any of The Tea Party folks. It's not any of the "Blue Dog" Demecrats. It's not any of the supposed "Centrists" (who are usually far to the right of Dwight Eisenhower, and Richard Nixon).

Who actually represents any of us? Who represents anyone who is not at the very least "well-to-do"?

Does anyone still give a damn about the working "middle class"? Does anyone care about anyone who is not, at the very least, a "professional"?

I do not think so. Everyone is so damn anti-union they tend to forget it was the Unions who brought so many folks into the "middle class". People are no longer happy to make a VERY good living ----- everyone wants to be "rich" ----- BUT, unless there is broad based prosperity, only the truly wealthy, those who actually OWN damn near everything will remain "rich" -- the rest of the greedheads will find there is no longer a market for their crap -- not enough folks will be able to afford it.

Welcome to "Great Depression II" ---- unless someone does SOMETHING (can you hear me OBAMA?)
