So, the USA Scrapes by: A Debt Deal Reached

Obama addressed the nation tonight to signal that a debt ceiling deal has been reached.

To be honest, it sounds downright awful - cuts to vital programs without raising taxes on the wealthy when what we really need right now is more stimulus, expanded spending that will create jobs and bring our economy around.

Too bad the word "jobs" is meaningless in Washington, unless it's a politician yelling to his staff "I'll do whatever it takes to keep my job!"

Ugh, we'll see how 2012 goes... it can get so much worse than it is now, and it can get only slightly better, really. I'm really hoping for the better.
