re: Insane political ideology
10 years of conservative insanity is to blame for this.
There are a lot of people who can't get anywhere past this idea, and never will. I'm hoping if the Democrats get control, at least some of them can.
Otherwise their "solutions" will simply be "replace Bush with Obama, and Paulson with Krugman." And nothing will really change.
Has anyone noticed that nothing really changed in Congress since 2006 either?
