My wife was listening to The Business Hour on CBS radio. Whoever was on was saying that the economic mess we're in is directly traceable to the unprecedented shutdown of the economy, and will probably get worse before getting better. That may be good news long term for the nation--in focusing popular rage at the proper targets.

I agree strongly with your conclusion, Mark. Way more power and money have migrated to Washington D.C. than was ever intended or imagined under our Constititutional order. They extorted and bought off the states. The remedy is local control and local accountability. States need to be weaned off the feds. How that happens practically I am not sure but strong, populist Governors are a must and local elections must be honest.

I agree with Morabito. Vigilence is required, as animals are at their most dangerous when cornered.

The story on Mexico IS an eye opener even to those of us who try to follow what is going on there. If all of that badness comes over the border (and as of now it is), in as few as 10 years the cartels will have their hooks in OUR politicians to the point where WE nationally are "New Mexico" and our National Guard are trying to keep the peace between cartels and factions.
