I believe the nation's problems can still be fixed, but people have to make an effort. I'm mainly talking about our leadership here. Borrowing, spending and printing dollars won't fix anything though. Incredibly, Most Democrats and many Republicans don't seem to grasp the situation. They appear to be in complete denial.

As Skybird said, the plane is running out of fuel and will go down one way or another. We can either make a rough landing now or pretend nothing is wrong and crash later. Capt. Obama wants to fly towards Socialism, and will pilot us out over the ocean. Democrats say anyone who disagrees is an extremist. The passengers get to vote in November. We'll see what happens then.

I would like to add that First Officer What-Ever-His-Name-Was? wants to take heading to Capitalism. Cut taxes, not to touch anyones entitlements or benefits and see if fuel tank magically fills...

P.S. No I'm not saying that First Officer is any better than Captain nor otherwise around.
