The majority of the U.S. population cannot eliminate lobbying or reform the financial industry. Congress can do that -- and they choose not to. Obama hasn't done it; Bush didn't do it; nobody in Washington is going to do it -- and they're the only ones who can. As to raising taxes? We can't do that either. Thank Washington. I'm tired of regular ordinary American citizens being blamed for the problems our Congress has created. And people foolish enough to believe that "the people" are responsible are part of the problem. They are not!
It's 'the people' who are electing these buffoons and likewise becoming dependent on unsustainable social programs politicians offer in order to get elected.
It's not the fault of China or Big Business. It's the fault of too many Americans harboring unrealistic expectations from government, just as we see now in Greece.
