Just about 50% o fthe country is absolutely, 100% willing to follow the economic path that Greece is blazing for us.
We have a charlatan, empty suit president who seems to believe that if we tweak tax rates on the uber-wealthy, everything will be hunky-dory.
And most importantly, we have 10,000 Baby Boomers a day turning 65, a trend that will continue for 15 years. Their social security and, more importantly, Medicare benefits, will be the final nail in our economic coffin. Unless something drastic is done. Obama either fails to recognize the threat, or just doesn't have the courage to be honest about what needs to be done. There isn't a third option.
Claiming you can solve this problem by taxing the rich a bit (while still adding more than $1 trillion to the debt each year) is like saying you can put out the Chicago fire with a thimble of water. Obama probably genuinely believes he could pull that off. Somehow, 50% of the country would believe him.
