Yes, royally pissed.

Let's face it, fellow Americans. New York Times columnist Bob Herbert got it right today when he said the country is drowning in a sea of debt because of the obscene Bush tax cuts for the rich, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that have never been paid for and the Great Recession. Not because of social security or Medicare. Yet we have cold-hearted, immoral Republicans advocating getting the nation's financial house in order by cutting the greatest social programs we've ever had. The ones that benefit the poor and the middle class. The vast majority of Americans. Yes, folks, the political party of the rich wants the rich to get richer and the poor and the middle class to get poorer and poorer. And we poor and middle class just sit on our asses and wait for it to happen. When really, we should be taking to the streets. As have the people in Tunisia and Albania. We need to demonstrate. Rioting, if necessary. To let our politicians know that we are pissed. Yes, royally pissed. --Jim Broede
