Of course, the current alternatives are likely to be worse which is hard to believe. I think it just demonstrates that we are slowly becoming the late, great United States of America when the best we can do is come up with the likes of Clinton, Obama and McCain.

Is that Montazuma's revenge ? LOL

What is the difference between recession and slowdown? A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP. We haven't even had one negative quarter. If you don't know what GDP is or the true definition of "recession", you should look it up. BTW, I'm not denying that our economy is in a downturn.

I would agree with you, Gilmore. It is truly trying to choose the lesser of the "evils".

Some truth in that United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #18 Apr 22, 2008 Judged: 5 2 2 If you look at the DOW five years ago it was just around 10,000. Now it is close to 14,000. Things are actually looking up. The short term investors are the only ones getting hurt. They typically only loose a little bit of money. It is usually grandmas inheritance and was really not theirs to begin with anyway they did not earn it. Then they pull out too soon and spend all the money on boats and planes and cars and other expensive toys and claim the economy is the problem. Not so it is lust and greed and lack of self control.

Some truth in that United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #20 Apr 22, 2008 Judged: 12 7 3 So what you really have is a bunch of spoiled baby boomers and ADHD generation Xers. They get the ADHD beacause their parents where hippies and drunks and party animals and drank too much and took drugs. This affected their childrens brains in the womb for life. The schools are full of ADHD children now that can't learn normally. ADHDers always learn the hard way.
