Thanks for the link BuBraves55. I've been saying this for the last 2 years; I agree with this point of view and advise to "prepare for the worst, hope for the best".

The decapitation of the SMB the last 2 decades has put us in a position which will be very hard to move the economic engine in a favorable position. Historically, small business are usually the areas that first come out ahead of economic crisis but right now we are counting on large greedy, self interest multi-nationals to do the job. BTW they are the ones who are buying political will while Main Street pays the taxes and gets hammered every which way.

At some point. Both politicians, AND the american people are going to have to find out that they cannot have it both ways. Everyone blames the politicians and 'washington', while they are not without blood on their hands, the truth is, the voting public wants services, but doesn't want to pay taxes. They want a better education system and better roads, but don't want to pay taxes, etc. etc.. In the end, people are going to need to decide what they want, in the time being we need to cut spending dramatically, and up the tax rate.
