An excellent well written Op Ed
I haven't posted on this blog in a while, but I read this Op Ed by Bob Herbert in the New York Times last week that I just had to share:

Mr. Herbert in a few words, without any political hyperbole, described how the leaders of our country are disconnected with how bad things really are for Americans. Thank you for your wonderful column, Mr. Herbert!
More often than not, I feel like the Dutch Boy in the old story putting his finger in the dyke to stop it from bursting.
It is often that bad.
Our whole purpose is to try to help folks who are in danger of being swept away by a tide caused by greed, indifference, and downright evil conduct by rich and powerful interests.
