We've heard all the rhetoric, now what's the truth?

We've been through what seems like an eternal presidential campaign and have been listening to endless claims from both sides as to what we're going to deal with if we don't elect the right group. Well, now the suppositions are done and we finally get to see what's in the pie we've cooked. In the words of Mr. Spock, "What you want is irrelevant, what you have chosen is at hand!"

All that said, there are a few things that I really hope the Obama opposition were really wrong about, because the possibility scares me.

Check out this youtube video of Jim Moran talking about the problems we face.

"We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in the simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it and they have an antipathy towards means of redistributing wealth. And they may be able to sustain that for a while, but it doesn't work in the long run."

I find Moran's words interesting and insightful into the current political climate. In times past words such as these would probably get him laughed off the stage be all but the most socialistic, but I wonder how many people now would hear those words and think that maybe he's onto something.

I think it's important to remember that although the senior executives where I work make lots of money, my cart is hitched to the same set of horses. If we trip them up, I just might go down too. One of the comments attached to the youtube video pointed out that the wealth of past prosperity is shared by creating jobs.
