America Looks Into Abyss of Another Great Depression So Democrats’ Congress Goes on Vacation

I just saw Glenn Beck on CNN, and he said that America is on the verge of another Great Depression. Others have used similiarly scary language to describe the financial crisis on Wall Street resulting from the failure of the housing industry. Whether one believes it or not, I’m inclined to think that if lawmakers saw the issue as this dire, then they’d be oblidged to work on Christmas, Easter, or any other religious holiday. If you’re in the military, do you take the day off and leave the frontline because it’s Summer Solstice? I don’t think so. How many times have we heard Democrats complain about Bush going on vacation (as if he’s ever far from the nuclear football or out of communication and not getting daily briefings)?

How do the Democrats get away with this? Leaders always want the ball. They don’t run from it.
