There better be. A lot of the working class is really in a bad way and
people really, really have pinned a lot on this man; I hope he
understands that he has about a month or two of our society's
attention span and after that it gets much more difficult. It doesn't
matter that most folks have only theirself to blame. People tend to be
very conservative until things get into a bind and then they expect
the government to come in and bail them out from their stupidity.
