Betrayed

I think most of our economic problems today were primarily caused by 100 or so greedy people on Wall Street, Fannie May, etc., not to mention 435 in one house and 100 in the other who did nothing to contain it. And now, to recapture an old saying, "keeping up with our newly elected officials' spending is like reading Playboy magazine while your wife turns the pages." It all looks really cool but that's about it.

But it's the words of Louis L'Amour that capture my feeling best in his book To The Far Blue Mountains; "It always seemed to me that a man who would betray the trust of his fellow citizens is the lowest of all..."
