Al-Qaida may be winning after all.

There is a tremendous fiscal crisis looming. It's been giving me ulcers.

Take a look at Fiscal Ruin on the Horizon by David S. Broder in the Washington Post. In it, Broder talks about the crisis and points out that neither the White House nor Congress is willing to address the situation. Bush won't even consider that a problem exists. And Kerry doesn't have a plan to fix it properly either.

Al-Qaida may be losing many of the major battles, but it's a war of attrition and the spending for this shadowy war on terror may very well cause the downfall of the United States.

That is, if the way we elect Presidents doesn't cause it first.
