Clouds is not the word I would use to............................. never mind.

You are absolutely right about people not caring or paying much attention. And you know what? They should not need to. We have elected officials. We have a regulatory system. We have some of the brightest minds in the world working on and setting this system up. The general public should not NEED to be an expert in macro economics or finance. But the fact that our society has devolved into a welfare state and our economic system has devolved into crony capitalism rife with fraud, all with a socialist bent, we as citizens better wake up and take our country back or it is going to go to hell in a hand basket.

I did not know anything about this stuff six years ago and I had been involved in the oversight of a bank! It should not be expected that the average Joe know this stuff. We should have competent people that are ethical and trustworthy with the welfare of the populace in mind and not HAVE to worry about this stuff. But we don't so we do.

You are also absolutely right about the problem not being solved but the media calling every band-aid and tire patch that at best bought some time a "solution". Oh we got a bail out! Problem solved! Never mind that the problem that caused the need for the bail out was never addressed or fixed and that any money thrown at the problem was only going to buy a little time till the next blowup, but all reports are that "the problem is solved, we have money for this week".

Sheesk. It is friggin unbelievable.
