Politicians are confused by the anger of Americans, but the explanation is simple.
On a visceral level, I regard them as a threat to my child. Every dollar spent unwisely, borrowed or wasted threatens his future and is a slap in my face to the sacrifices made to give him a better life.
I have so little hope that they will make the draconian cuts necessary to address the deficit that I will not buy a car, house or anything superfluous to basic existence until assured that his future in this country is fiscally secure.
Basically, if the are spending, then I will not! All Americans should become obstructionists until our country is made whole.
