Well, I do feel it is possible to be too clever with regards to the economy and I'm not overly fond of highly leveraged derivatives or the mortgage bundling techniques that were used in the Fannie Mae meltdown.

The Demos are destroying it and along with that dream the country itself.

As recently as ten years ago, I would have never in my wildest dreams imagined that I might see another American revolution during my lifetime. Now, I consider it a possibility, and I'm no black helicopter conspiracy nut, either.

1)There is a looming energy crunch that econut greenie pipe dreams will not begin to address.

2)Escalating and out of control deficits are putting us well on the road towards bankrupting and destroying our monetary system and economy.

3)And the grey hand of excessive taxation and regulation is choking the "can do" spirit that built our affluence and prosperity in the first place. The percentage of whiners and parasites, of all stripes, from street corner bums to government unions to corporate welfare leeches, continues to increase..

Hope that I'm wrong, but IMO, the winter of discontent is just beginning...
