Reply to "FEMA trailers for Haiti?"

The government is a large thing that carries a lot of momentum. It's hard to get it to change direction and it will be a while before we'll see the scenery change. What we need is for everyone to at least pull long and hard in more or less the same direction.

My frustration is our American expectation of instant gratification. There is no short cut. In the the course of US history, a year is less than the wink of an eye and four years doesn't even represent a full two percent. For now I'm going to keep my eye on the ball and support the program. I'll finalize and express my judgement of the new guy in November 2012 after I see results over a longer term.


And, true, every president was left with baggage when he came into office, for example one recent president actually inherited a budget surplus.

I'm not picking at any party, I'm looking at men and where their ideas and actions took us. One in particular just disappointed the heck out of me.

ps; The issue with trailers has to do with formaldehyde in the insulation. There are still pending lawsuits. Too bad, but those things need to get recycled asap and cut the losses.

I'm done too. I promise, no more rants until 2012.
