I just wanted to thank you for this site, I've been a lurker for a few years and your economic input was missed while you were away. We need reasonable people in these times and for that I thank you. Accountability in everything from politics to the media is lacking and I'm absolutely tired of both of them. They are playing the American people like a fiddle, but hey, if we're dumb enough to believe the rhetoric I guess we'll get what we deserve.
