I kept saying that I thought that Pat and Dick in ole DC would have a better shot at reaching a deal on the debt limit than the NFL players and owners would have to get the season going. Sorry for being so blind to think that greed would stop two sides from making THEIR money. It's their money so they'll make it and not leave it on the table.

However, when it comes to OUR money, it's going to be easy for Dems and Republicans to keep it on the table and then flush it - along with our country's good credit and reputation - down the drain.

Easy come, easy go with the economy.
