There's gonna be a reckoning...

Frank Rich's column today captures the rage that is coursing through everyday America. Politicians ignore this at their peril; though it seems Washington is living in its usual bubble, free from the realities confronting the rest of America. Both parties I think underestimate the genuine anger and fear that is washing over this country, though I think the Democrats are closer to understanding than the Republicans. I mean seriously, more tax cuts-the kind that helped get us in this pickle in the first place-is the only thing you have to offer? Most Americans don't have capital gains taxes to cut, and any potential benefit-highly doubtful in my opinion-won't be noticed for some time. Everyday people are hurting now and want help now. Obama gets this. The Republicans, led by Rush Limbaugh, don't.
