Me too. Your disheartenment is well earned. This Sunday morning finds me soaked from the pundits and would-be political experts who have whizzed down my back and told me it was raining (it actually is raining, but that's typical for around here
So many are trying to desperately to tell me that this is such a great deal and "we won!" and Øbomba lost!" and all I can determine is that the deal ensures our bankruptcy. It's criminally negligent. It's like saying, "Your car weighs too much to get the gas mileage we require so we removed the brakes". They have no idea if it'll solve one problem (the fake default crisis) but it is guaranteed to create other, bigger ones.
