>> Even if in the long run (25, 50, 100 years?) we're totally fucked, there's no reason we can't have faked prosperity again for a period, maybe long enough to engineer a softer landing... We should remember WHY "we're f*cked". We allowed the Left to take over the country at critical points with the end result being Social Security, Medicare, the Welfare State, and any number of other long-term maladies that threaten the very existence of the country. Individualism in the US is history. Nobody's responsible for themselves anymore. The Left wants to be taken care of by the government cradle to grave. The sooner you people start becoming independent, the sooner we start digging out of the mess. I wish Obama could help in this area, but the reality is he's adding a trillion dollars to problem within weeks of taking office.
