Right. That, and a whole lot more. The economic troubles are not Shrub's fault, but I feel strongly this totalitarian stuff must go along with the Republicans in these coming elections. I put the blame on Shrub.

As far as the crisis in developed nations goes, Japan managed to work through their imbalances and GDP slump over years (2 decades) without a major spike in unemployment, but with occasional frequent harakiris of the big bosses in the banking sector... The Japanese way. And I heard the land under the Emperor's palace in Tokyo was once worth more than the state of California <G> Ah, maybe my bad. In the meantime, the Japanese smoked (a lot, I visited in the 90-s), drank, relaxed, and worked hard. So, don't necessarily prepare for Argentina and hoard cans or something ... Well, you sure can, but it might not happen that way. While folks tend to say the Japanese had it all wrong, I think they managed the collapse of their major bubbles reasonably well. <G>
