part of my underlying premise for many years now: entitlement debt notwithstanding...I just can't see how those on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder (e.g., "welfare queens," can have so much power - the power to take down our economy.

People (spinners, GOPers) like to twist and complicate explanations, but FREAK! - clearly the problem with our economy is income concentration moving to the top small percentage, and Wall Street lies and manipulation. There is obviously no such thing as trickle down, this has been established through experience and history. End of story.
