Not to mention that $2 trillion war that's accomplished nothing, but I'm done banging my head against that wall.

Read this and maybe you'll actually understand that $700 billion dollar piece of legislation. By the way $350 billion is now controlled by the incoming govt appointee who is a democrat.

If you bother to read it you will find that steps are being taken with that $700 billion to deal with the problem. By the way some of Greitnther's ideas seem to be good ones.
