Gotta rant on that - can't believe this quote:

In a sign the U.S. economy continues to outperform its major trading partners, imports increased 1.7 percent to $125.4 billion in December while exports declined 2.6 percent to $81.2 billion.

Jesus H. Christ, we can't even f*cking get it straight what's good and what's bad any more. OK, repeat after me:

Spend a penny *less* than you earn, that good.
Spend a penny *more* than you earn, that bad.

How the f*ck are we outperforming the rest of the world if our imports are growing and exports decreasing?!?!?!?!? If you're a household, you're going deeper into debt. If you're a corporation and you sell (ie generate revenue) at a rate less than the cost of your inputs, you are losing money.

Gee, maybe we should just stop bothering with this work crap and just consume our way to prosperity! <S>

SOMEBODY WAKE THIS COUNTRY UP BEFORE WE'RE RUN INTO THE GROUND BY THE MORONS AT THE HELM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
