Something's gone badly wrong in our economy, and no one seems interested in fixing it. -I agree with you there. Why isn't anyone interested in fixing it? That's the question worth asking. When you answer that question, you get the fundamental problem with our system. The people that govern our country aren't hurting. It's the same reason politicians can be so quick to send our troops in harms way, very few politicians have family/loved ones that would be in harms way. If they did, they wouldn't be as cavalier about entering into conflict. If they weren't already wealthy themselves and didn't surround themselves with other wealthy people, they'd be more inclined to "fix" our economy.
No, they're interested in pointing fingers and placing blame. The overwhelming majority of our politicians suck.
