Even Bob Brinker on the nationally-syndicated radio program Money Talk was talking about this polarization today. He was saying that none of the politicians will lift a finger when it comes to the budgetary mess we're in. Instead, they're creating a big fuss over a Burlington Coat Factory converting into a mosque. That's just what politicians do, as KD so aptly described in his post - pick a "hot topic" to run on that drives a "wedge" in between voters. In the meantime, just continue bankrupting the country.

He was discussing when the show started in 1986, and one of the things he said stuck with me: "I would not believe it [the deficit] if I saw it with my own eyes."

Anyway, Karl is spot-on and timely with his post. I'm not sure what's going to happen politically in the near-future, but I rest assured that if this is the attitude that politicians have, then we're better off without them, even if it means anarchy. The good, hard-working people of this country will stick together and make it through no matter what. The rest of the leeches who can't hack it will suffer. And I think that's where a guy like Glen Beck comes in handy. Although he may not be the brightest financially, whether right or wrong, he knows the basic tenets of society, and I think this is the core message he's trying to get across daily.

I don't know, Mann - still a lot of people to suck from. Maybe the better question to ask is when does the ~~bottom~~ middle-class which creates the vast majority of wealth refuse to play this charade any longer?
