The Internet bubble burst (although that's a little hard to say when the Internet is thriving) 9/11 Afghan War Iraq War Political/ideological division like I've never seen Housing bubble Housing bust Massive bank bailout Massive smaller bank failures Flat to down real wages for most people Going from a balanced budget to massive deficit spending I know I missed a bunch of shit; off the top of my head Three weeks left. My 'New Decade's Resolution' is to exit the partisan negativitiy and focus on the positive. I've got a feeling we may move forward with some really good stuff, and maybe with a better attitude of cooperation. Yeah, really good stuff. A doubling/tripling of the annual deficit since GWB left. Trillions in new government spending to prop up an economy that is failing because of government abuse. Incompetent foreign policy focused around denigrating the status of the United States in the eyes of the world. Yep. Really good stuff.
