(15,882 posts)as Republican Presidential Candidates and EXPECT anything more than a deepening of the inequities would be akin to dementia, I'm thinking.
Until someone has the political courage to stand up and help a county which actually LIKES to sit and watch American Idol to recognize that the sand is shifting beneath their feet and that they are the only ones that can stop it, we will continue divesting ourselves of what meager wealth we have. One day we should hit a bottom level, but I think that is at least 5 years off for perhaps a couple hundred million people. Unfortunately our country is run by and for the other hundred million, so I don't see anything that will stop that.
Too bad, because that is all wasted time during which their losses will grow, and the longer it takes, the poorer and less secure we become, barring some new invention in energy, or perhaps medicine, that creates REALLY BIG solutions.
