he Republicans are divided, but only about how much to cut - any old guard who tries to spend or vote for more stimulus/investment will be tarred and feathererd. The Democrats have just lost half their blue dogs, and are increasingly dominated by the left wing of their party, while the Republicans are being dominated by fiscal conservatives; even Obama is trying to recast himself as fiscally prudent, in order to get re-elected

Biased? No issue there, not trying to start anything. Time changes all, yet all remains the same I think is kinda my sentiment to this. Another ally we backed, who ended up being worse than we thought-----but OK for us. Keep our nose out of most foreign relations I feel should be learned from this and many lessons we spend tax money on. Lets not forget that the lib vs conserv....repub vs dem....spending debate-----NEITHER side wants to talk about SS, medicare, and defense spending, which dwarf about everything else we spend any money on.-------Ok Ive gotten off track here, pardon my ramblings.

I also understand the point about having some sway in areas we want it or need it. Tough decision on that one. Well, a pleasant talk and point of agreement and agreement to disagree in a political thead here. Cheers Macro!

I have been watching with interest. It seems the unrest is spreading all the time in that part of the world. i am not sure any pol in this country has the stomach to do what is required to straighten out this mess. They are all just sitting around hoping the economy comes roaring back and revenue comes back up so they can keep spending our money without restraint. I think I heard that my state (Florida) spends a third of it's annual budget on medicare/medicaid. That is astounding to me and an unsustainable situation. Entitlements are eating us alive.

Do these go in order? If so who's going to war next?
