It seems counterintuitive to let the people who got us into this mess in the first place to legislate our way out of it ... or to expect anyone to play nice in an election year ...

Never mind it's "we the people" who are hardest hit by all this ... the $700 billion is coming from whose pockets? Uh huh ...

But I hope that cooler, calmer heads prevail and some compromise or solution is worked out, and soon.
