Jared,

Mr. No above has some good points in his rant. There's some truth in there. Deregulation hurt us because the criminals figured out how to take advantage of it. That and the housing loan craziness. Heck, I'm a big dummy and remember telling my wife we were going to be in trouble when all the "balloon" style loans given back when housing prices went nuts kicked into overdrive.

I just wish the two parties could find someone to unite them. Find a middle ground for the good of America. BOTH sides need to give a little because we're getting nowhere.

I'm biased of course, I'd describe myself as a Demublican, or Republicrat, because I'm moderate in my thinking, just left of center in many ways.

There's a lot of anger today. No solutions, just anger. That needs to be fixed and one party cannot do it alone.
