have been pointing to its pre-explosion smoldering, large signs that have been, and continue to be brushed off.

So even if we get back to where we were before (which seems like a good dream right now), we will crash and burn again because where we were before was still too close to the edge, too unstable. As long as repuke (in particular, but not exclusively) Congresscritters focus an inordinate amount of their attention on trying to achieve what their (wink, wink) “real” constituents want, it will never be a government primarily focused on the public’s wants/needs.

So we ask ourselves why we have let it get to this point, why we let them get away with so much utter crap. And we pretty much understand the way ball is played, and that that’s why we are where we are.

That’s why the house is on fire.
