I am holding fire until the new Congress is in session. In my view, what you are witnessing is a direct result of the STUPIDITY of the average voter, evidenced (to name just two, but there are thousands of examples) by their belief the Government Shutdown was real (it wasn't)and it was the Republican's fault at blocking budgets, when they've actually passed several which were then held hostage by Harry Reid in the Senate.
Not to mention the fact the last budget passed, crafted by a democrat house and senate, was voted DOWN in the Senate 95:0. We are awash in STUPID people, and the mess we are in is of their making. It's that simple.
In a few months we will see..
