I completely concur that we are heading for another financial crisis, and that the reason for this is the lack of meaningful reform of the corrupt system that brought us the last two financial crises.

The Democrats are crowing over the troubles dividing the Republican Party, the leadership of which seems to be dropping any pretense of listening to even their own people, much less the broader public.

And both parties are attempting to play on the emotions and passions of their members so as to get them to ignore the most substantial issues of all: the lack of a sustainable economic recovery after seven long years, and the continuing decimation of everyone except a wealthy and powerful few.
