A Microcosm

The legislatures in both my native state, Virginia, and my home state, Washington, failed to agree on a budget before their respective clocks ran out this week. In my previous home state, Arizona, the legislature is still in session but the fact that AzCentral has a Budget Crisis web page does not augur well.

Such is the contemporary landscape of the political-economic culture I've known. Leaves me feeling a bit like Joe Btfsplk.
