I Love Athenae

A. gets right to the outrage part..

Where was our country when our countrymen needed it most?

Where was the state of emergency, now occurring because the economy is melting from the top down, when it was crumbling from the bottom up?

Where were the demands we shove $700 billion into rebuilding this country, so that people could get to work, so that people could get to school, so that people could live in ways that wouldn't shame us when we were occasionally forced to look ourselves in the face, where was the willingness of Congress to work weekends then?

... it's not that I don't get it. On the contrary. I and most of the rest of America have been getting it for years. Getting it good and hard, in fact, and you couldn't pay anybody currently having a freakout to care.
