I think that both of you are missing the point. It hardly matters who caused the mess that we are in -- and that is part of the problem. Everyone is spending time pointing fingers saying this won't work and that won't work, when in fact, we better start hoping that something works.
We are in an entirely new situation. This isn't the recessions of the past, it isn't even the depression of the past. This is the new reality. I heard someone on the news today say that they thought that part of the problem is that people don't realize that their lives are fundamentally changed and there is no going back. People are in mourning about their old life and how they spent and invested. They can't believe it's really over, but it is.

So instead of pointless discussions about who is at fault, it would be more productive to figure out where to put your money now to preserve your capital. I'm not defending Obama because I think the Democratic Congress has it's head up it's proverbial _ss. And I think Obama thinking that he will half the deficet in his administration is bull. No matter whose buget it is, I think Obama should be sending back the budget and make them take out the pork. It's said that he is picking his battles for the harder battles that are coming, but I think there is no place like the present to start.

And the Republicans are wasting their time trying to decide if Michael Steele or Rush Limbaugh is running the Republican party. Give me a break. Limbaugh is an entertainer, and nothing more.
They better start trying to figure out how they can pull their party together. It's a pretty sad state of affairs if the best they can come up with is Rush Limbaugh.

What you are seeing is the end of American life as we have known it. Arguing who is at fault is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic and about as productive.
