Dustbowl - while Bush did his share he doesn't hold a candle to this crew in office now. Both parties are culprits but Obama has accelerated the damage.
Study these facts:
Consumer debt is 117% of disposable income.
November's "strong" jobs report included more people dropping out of the labor pool (315,000) vs. those who found work (278,000), according to the Labor Department's household survey.
•Household net worth fell 4% in the third quarter, a drop of $2.4 trillion, according to the Fed. That's the biggest drop since 2008 and would be hard to overcome even if wages were rising sharply, which they're most certainly not.
Residential housing remains depressed, which is putting tremendous pressure on Americans' net worth and sense of financial confidence. There’s more downside for housing prices and another increase in foreclosures is coming in 2012.

Reagan never explains why we are supposed to believe that the Republicans, who ran up massive budget deficits under Reagan/Bush and Bush2, are now suddenly reformed and won't do it again.

Bravo! Very well written & spot on!
Reid is in charge & should be held accountable. We are hungry for a real leader that unifies the country - not one that blames everyone & everything other than who is the problem.

Michael,
Funny, but I did not read a single sentenance, phrase or even word hinting as to why Mitch McConnell has no culpability in your claims for Senate malfeasance. Those of us who did follow the negotiations understood that both Reid and Obama wanted a longer 12 month extension. But McConnell would not stand for it.
So either put something on this topic "UP" or shut "Down" your insane criticism!
