And when times are bad, it's the Republicans who are the first to line up for the check. All day I work I heard crap like "we can't elect Obama, have you SEEN the size of the budget deficit?" -- as if Obama was the one who put it there. Or "he's gonna spread my wealth." -- really? and what wealth do you have, actually? Not normal paycheck money, but wealth. Under the Obama plan, even Sarah Palin would get a tax cut.

At that point in the conversation, they begin to plan what to do when Obama comes to take their guns away. *sigh*

btw, I saw a documentary on the Dust Bowl, and apparently the High Plains are experiencing the same drought conditions as during the Depression, and the only thing preventing dust storms is irrigation from the Ogalalla Aquifier. But dust storms have been observed in China (by satellite.)
