An amazing video and song that I believe accurately encompasses the entire campaign process (no matter which side you vote for). Enjoy.

It makes one ponder, would the millions (and millions and millions) of dollars being spent on campaigns be better served in bailing out Main Street? or at least in serving the needs of the less fortunate?

Personally, I am in favor of a plan where the government "renegotiates" with the banks in lowering mortgages to be consistent with the value of the house. Yes, I am obviously a homeowner and statistics (83% of which are made up) show that 1 in 6 homes are worth less than the amount owed. I wonder if that takes into account the amazing amount of home equity loans that were taken and used for new cars and trips to Disney. Always good to be reassured by the fiscal responsibility of Americans (the government and public alike).
