Not, someone is dreaming, you me and anyone else that thinks these folks are going to pay. It is us that will pay and pay and pay and pay.

A few years back under the Clinton Administration, I could not see things getting much worse. How Naive, I see things in a different light. They can indeed be worse to the point that we cannot yet conceive how bad.
