Maybe. But I was so discouraged today listening to NPR. There was a brief story on offshore accounts and how mainstream using them is and how we can't seem to do anything about them because of how strong the Wall Street Lobby is.
That they should have a strong lobby is galling. That none of them is in jail or likely to go to jail is hard to stomach.
But that the wealth of the middle class, which has been reduced by a third, has to carry the entire nation because corporations and the rich legally dodge taxes -- that this is not a national scandal -- it's demoralizing.
And then listening to coverage of the Republican Wisconsin folks who have no better sense than to vote for these idiots. (also on NPR).
Not that Obama has anything to be proud of re these issues.
Anyway, not a hopeful day for me.
