If we can't continue to produce value where none existed previously, the America of history is over. It wouldn't even have to be new industry. We could revolutionize existing industry and market great products to the world like Nike did with shoes. But such a spirit needs to be universally embraced to turn us around from this depressing mess. Here is an example: I was looking at cooling vests on line today. I didn't even know such things existed. I was wondering if anyone besides me had thought of inventing them. There are lots, but the good ones are not affordable to the average joe. arcticheatusa.com

We sure haven't seen much from that $800B spending bill have we? It depends on your perspective........missed the Bush depression. That's pretty big.

AWKWARD.... Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle is on Capitol Hill today, hoping to convince party leaders and her would-be colleagues that she's not stark raving mad. As part of her tour, Angle will be introduced to GOP senators and party officials by her home-state senator, Nevada's John Ensign. [A]pparently not all Senate Republicans are thrilled with Ensign's move to bring Angle's at the weekly gathering. A senior GOP Senate source said Ensign didn't officially inform those who run the lunch, which Ensign used to do before he was forced to resign from his leadership post. "This is Ensign going rogue in an attempt to rehabilitate his soiled reputation by latching onto someone popular with Nevada voters," said the source. And what does Angle think of her Senate escort? Late last year, Angle responded to Ensign's humiliating sex scandal by telling reporters, "If your wife can't trust you, how can I trust you?" So, the party isn't thrilled with Angle; Angle isn't thrilled with Ensign; and Ensign isn't scoring any points with his own GOP colleagues. What an awkward situation for everyone involved.
