And now the new world

No, not a political post; rather a observation that I think we have jolted, painfully, into the 21st century;not by electing Obama per se, but by the budget that was presented to Congress.

It's huge. It's really scary in scope of spending. And in order to pay for it, we as a country must swallow our pride and borrow the money.

Sadly enough, we were freely borrowing to pay for the war effort, to pay for our stupid finance instruments and the houses and cars that went along with it. So many people thought that they were rich; in reality, it was all figments of the imagination.

Here, read it and weep. Orpray, if you wish!
