Yes, possibly so... I really have no clue...(If I did, I'd ya'll pick you up in the GV for a weekend in the Islands...lol)

What I do know, is that the US is once again becoming the flight to quality.... and will continue to do so for a long time.

We (US) have the greatest country on earth..bar none. Thousands of people risk their lives daily to live the American dream and fight their way into this land of the free.

Sure things are not perfect...no country is. but the US provides more options to citizens that most any other country on the face of the earth..bar none.. Trust me I know...

I have been blessed w/ the ability to travel around the world and visit many other beautiful counties... The US is freedom and options... plain and simple.

The people who continually bash this country are both jealous and envious... they lack full understanding of what the US has done for the world and the sheer magnitude of prosperity provided by the brilliance and ingenuity of the American dream.. They bitch about the financial crisis, yet continue to live a wonderful life... always warning of the pending doom....

How can it be that so many people live a free, happy prosperous life, enjoy the creature comforts of a modern life, yet still complain. They communicate on a state of the art pc on the internet and fly to see family for a few hundred bucks, enjoy wonderful health and still bitch about the people who are mostly responsible for providing that luxury...

If one is not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.

Well yes, of course much of the war is "off budget." That way we can pretend we're not actually spending it. Why admit the deficit is $550 Billion when we can pretend it's "only" $400 Billion (or whatever the exact figures).

Our leaders came up with this. And we're so proud of them.
