   Your government, "the beltway", "the Versailles on the Potomac", is good   
   at   
   making a mess   
   the size of a Shakesperian tragedy, of everything it touches at the   
   moment - does that count?!  :-)   
      
   Look - I do see that the one president is inheriting a vast "kicking the   
   can down the road" mess.  I won't decree absolution ;-) - but I do see   
   an impossible situation to resolve.   
      
   I have this winter watched videos of American mining enthusiasts going   
   out into the wilderness finding gold and other resources.  Bright,   
   experienced and practically skilled.  Only enough findings to hopefully   
   cover costs and maybe make a few bucks on-top, but my goodness they are   
   alive and that is where hope for America resides - that spirit.   
      
   Best wishes
