Frustration

I read the news, and I think about it. Then I think about posting about my thoughts. Then I read other blogs, and somebody else already said what I was thinking, but with more eloquence.
Take the "budget" (please, in a Groucho voice). We don't have a "debt" or "deficit" problem; we have a revenue problem. You've already seen the graphs: the rich are getting the pie, and we're getting the crumbs. I mean "why the fornicate are you arguing about family planning when we need jobs" type of angry.
So I'm frustrated.
Because, in reality, it is getting worse. Slowly and steadily. The 'frog pot' analogy.
Somehow, I doubt that I'm going to "enjoy" the near future.

So very shortly after reading this, I came across this LOLcat version of pie.

That's pretty much where I'm at these days. Hard to manage to write about it when it's all such a mess.
