Priorities

Sometimes the juxtaposition of headlines in The Washington Post blog takes on an unintended salience. Here are two from today:

Price tag of midterm campaign likely to hit $4 billion (By Dan Eggen)

Most Americans worry about ability to pay mortgage or rent, poll finds (By Ariana Eunjung Cha and Jon Cohen)

So our political and economic elite have $4 billion to spend on campaigning at a time when the rest of us are worried about a home to live in. As I said, I suspect this is one reason the Tea Partiers are so angry.

Hope you all vote on Tuesday.
