Your need to place blame on one party when BOTH parties are equally culpable shows that you are locked in some fantasy world of good vs evil when the reality of the situation is that it is EVIL vs EVIL. Bloods vs Crips.

I completely agree with you and think regardless of who's in power they should be forced to operate under a balanced budget unless we're attacked or citizens are dying in the streets.

The Cash for Clunkers took stupid to a whole new level IMO

and i just saw this, on the latest polls.

republican disapproval from those polled is growing. and you know there's something wrong when:

Just 52 percent of Republicans, for instance, approve of how Republicans in Congress are handling budget negotiations.
