I couldn't agree more that the thinking in Washington is absurd. But what's missing from this video? Hmmmm... The fact that Fred Thompson was one of the politians who helped start this ball rolling? That he ran for president as a member of the party that led the charge to get us to where we are today? The good chance that if he, or anyone from his party, had been elected, the current policies would be "the right thing" to do? The fact that "librul economists" have been saying the exact opposite of what he inplies they have, and that it's the "conservative economists" who have run this economy into the ground? Also missing, any semblance of an inkling of a real solution. He paints a wonderful picture of how bad it is--does he have even a SINGLE idea about how to resolve this mess? I think if he did, he might have done better in the primaries. Also, he might have offered it in this comedy sketch. I say, go back to sleep, Mr Thompson. We need solutions not sarcasm.

It makes me really nervous all the money we are spending. When did it become not okay to fail in America? Isn't that the nature of taking risks? <abbr><em>Steve Heideman’s last blog post: <a href="http://www.arizonamortgagenews.com/uncategorized/1-penny-1-billion-dollars/" rel="nofollow">1 Penny = 1 Billion Dollars</a></em></abbr> Great post Josh.
