I'm just about crazy now

It is hard to believe that the debt ceiling hasn't been raised yet. It is down to two days, with millions of people hanging onto every move the Congresspeople make. I can only stand to check periodically to see what, if any, progress has been made. There is no question that it's the Tea Partiers who are responsible for this crisis. They manufactured it to begin with and are holding the entire nation hostage as they kick and scream their way into (likely) getting their way. This should not be possible. I'm afraid that the Dems are going to cave on every last thing they want (negotiating with the terrorists) and inviting them to do it again the next time they have something they want. I'm disgusted with the process in Washington and I'm disgusted with my country. Things should not be as they are, but here I am, without a way in hell to make a difference. Even voting is a waste of time and postage. Bah, humbug.
