It did start to tick down a bit, probably driven in part by the debt


ceiling crisis, but also due to economic recovery. I blame Obama for continuing the WOT even after getting us (partially) out of Iraq and for continuing to expand the defense budget...yes, Ds are also susceptible to the military industrial complex. Even so, the rise is now continuing, and it really makes zero sense. I think I mentioned the other day that I lay a large portion of the blame on the American public for wanting to eat their cake and have it, too. We need to be mature enough to pay for our services. Of course, nobody in Washington really wants to be honest about it.
