Backing it up...

The other day the frustrations of the last couple of day boiled over into this post.

Some may have noticed that the President gave a speech this past week on the budget. It was a pretty good speech actually.

But consider me skeptical. I need to see some steel and fire out of the democrats. I need to see them willing to engage and argue for progressive aims. They may lose that argument, but they need to make it. Dr. Krugman sums up most of my feelings on the speech here.

To get my active support, that is what will be necessary. Make the Republican party pay for their fecklessness.

And since it is tax day this little chart for you all:

Yep, collectively we are paying way too much.

-Cheers
