Okay, it's time for another one of my moody posts.
I'm despairing--not for myself, but for others, for this whole country. It looks as if this economy is not going to turn around any time soon; in fact, its continuing plummet may last for years. If things don't start picking up before 2012, people may lose confidence and move toward the other side--you know, to those guys who got us in this mess in the first place? If so, then we're right back to square one: a fellating of the free market fantasy and ludicrous trickle down philosophy in the form of lax regulation, more unnecessary tax breaks for the wealthy, and more lobbyist influence in Washington. And we'll be that much further from the search for renewable energy and the goal of universal health care.
This administration is far from perfect, but I believe that it is trying its best and is not taking anything for granted. But we got to do more on our end too and not just sit around waiting for government to solve the problem. I only wish that I knew what could be done.
