Ahh, that explains why I missed the ending...well, like the tree that falls out of earshot, privation not visited upon the top quartile is no privation at all.

It ended for the top 25%.

We sent in a commando team directed at that very outcome, but they were intercepted at the Senate cafeteria before they got to Reid's tea and the acid was confiscated...mission, not accomplished.

New Hampshire was traditionally a very conservative, rock-ribbed Republican state, but started to go more purple in the 90's. We now have a very popular four-term Democratic governor, and one of our Senators is a Democrat. We have two House reps, and both were Democrats following the big Obama victory in 2008, but we lost both seats to the Republicans in the the Republican surge of 2010. If I had to bet, I would say that at least one of those seats will go back to the Dems in 2012.

Sorry it was late and I was venting a bit. There are some such as myself that tend to see the greater New England area as one of the last blue areas in the country. And then to see the Republicans win there in 2010, and how the Dem gov (who is popular I hear) just barely won, well...it just seems we're not even barely hanging on but taking some serious steps backwards in this country.

Sigh. Really wish they had

Sigh. Really wish they had put Sanders on that debt committee.
