Hi Jay,

Thanks for the comment and the link. I honestly think that there are two many fires to fight in our nation and not enough people to adequately fight each fire. When attention gets focused on one fire (i.e. healthcare), another one flares up (i.e. slow to recover unemployment). Tough situation!
