One commenter had this to say "... Here's a quote and it is true: The line between "making" and "taking" is not a racial line. The biggest government program we have, Medicare, benefits a population that is 85% white. Those are the same white people that voted for Romney. According to the repubs, they are the "takers", but blame those that voted for Obama. ......"

Oh the country is going to hell, but I would not presume to say that a different result at the recent general election would have us not going there. _________________________ I used to think it was terrible that life was unfair. Then I thought what if life were fair and all of the terrible things that happen came because we really deserved them? Now I take comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe. Well that's true but I will say we are headed to some rough FISCAL times , esp if the Financial Cliff is hit.... major shake ups.... market will tumble. All set up by the wild spending and no revenue of 8 years of Bush and his first 6 years of a GOP Congress. ( After all, our FISCAL house WAS in order more or less when Clinton left). We;re still feeling the effects of our fiscal policy being out of balance from that time-
