Hello Ross,

On Friday February 18 2011 11:40, you wrote to me:

So why are you harping at the "current socialist"?  It was not the current
socialist who invented "spending money they do not have" and it was not
socialists that caused the bursting of the US housing bubble that started the
global financial crisis. It was people extending loans that they knew, or
should have known, that could never be paid back. Those were not socialists,
they were bankers. Bankers are not socialists. And is was the American people
that allowed it to happen Not just the socialist among them, ALL of them.

Your "current socialist" is not spending money he does not have. He is trying
to clean up the mess caused by others spending money they did not have.
re-elect him or not. Either way, it will not clean up the mess you made. The
mess that YOU, the American people made.

What you will have to do is accept the consequences of your actions. What you
will have to accept is that by your overspending, you are not as big a player
on the stage of the world as you once were. You will have to accept that the
pants you are wearing are too big for you now.

Step into a smaller sized set of paints, tighten your belt and tone down your
voice.

 RC> I think thats what people do when they vote...

Not in this part of the world. We don't "oust" people. We try to build a
society in which everyone can participate.

 RC> I think that is what you are doing when you express a desire for us to
 RC> elect/re-elect certain politicians.

I do not really care who you elect. As long as you keep the mess you make to
yourself.


Cheers, Michiel
