I asked an expert how we can get Wall Street to bail out Main Street, given the ridiculous reversal that obliged the reverse as a priority? That's approximately the same issue.
What I want to tell Tea Partiers is that so much of our "socialist" welfare system depends on reciprocity. Out of my taxes comes your subsistence when you need it, and out of yours comes mine when I need it.
With all the exigencies hanging on who wins next month, how can we taxpayers abide the time that will be wasted in attempts to undo Obamacare? And if they succeed, what a step backward and again, what a waste of time. Even some of the Tea Partiers are down and out; not all are wealthy, as I had surmised via their policies.

Dear energetic, hyperactive, charismatic Democratic youth who are so fervently making calls and knocking on doors to reverse poll results that predict negative change in policies that are indispensable for the common welfare, to rescue those made homeless and unemployed by Bush administration economics, here is today's contribution. I can't make it to today's phonebank due to another obligation, another meeting, but you've succeeded in jerking me out of the literary mode that was diverting me at this inopportune time.
This is my phone call, preaching to the choir but reaching out to a larger one, the dirge of victimization by an eight-year process, an eight year process, that put you where you are. Don't succumb to a plunge. Tread the plateau, which is far preferable. Those who will pull you out of that swamp are not those who put you there in the first place. They are us and if you want youth, we've lit a fire under Obama's executive chair and he's moving in the correct direction. Summers has stepped down and it's now autumn.
Would that Stiglitz and Krugman might replace him. If not, the Dems are still a better bet.
