Do you mean to tell me you don't know Tealeaf?

Well, there, you do surprise me.

And why is it implicit that they can deal with the gathering economic storm?
It could just be that they are playing for time....and diverting attention away from something which is far more serious than the current situation.

And just to put the record straight, initially I didn't say it was a diversionary tactic........I asked MargaretR if she meant my little quote about Nero fiddling while Rome burned,(though I know he didn't) was what she was referring to.....but after thinking about it, I decided it could be.....I would put nothing past these corrupt people who are supposed to be leading us.
