Sounds a lot like what's been goin on here. With progressive Dems in charge, corruption, nepotism and generally just draggin all their underlings along and promoting them to unelected positions of authority the liberal/tree huggin/we know what's best for you (which always increases taxes!) crowd has made a mess of the economy.

Obozo has taken the stalemate in congress as a reason to lawlessly make Executive Orders (decrees)to implement what he couldn't get through congress and then allowed regulatory agencies to basically write policies, then enforce them as if they're laws and all this is wreaking havoc here.

I've all but given up on our electorial process here. I wish Texas would quit fuckin around and just secede, as has been bandied about. Many of us here have grown waaay tired of inane over-regulation, intrusive govt. intervention and the abuse/misuse of the taxes we pay.

The US needs Texas a lot more than we need the US
