> there was huge pressure to do something about it despite the media's constant stream of 'nothing to see here'..... and then nothing happened. That seems to be the case with pretty much every major issue we're facing right now. The student loan bubble, the Republican tax cut and repeal of Wall Street regulations, global warming, education, the decimation of the nation's worldwide standing, the obesity crisis ... Collectively, we have no attention span. We get scared about something, then think to ourselves "well, somebody has always solved the big problems in the past. I'm sure somebody will solve this one, too," and go back to voting for someone on The Voice instead of someone in the Senate.
