I hope you and your greatly respected advisers are right because if the economy continues to decline, it will only serve to further inflame the populous. Social unrest and breakdown of civilization tend to squelch economic prosperity. (no winners)

BTW: due to a couple of good turns of events in our lives, there won't be a whole lot of *whining* around this house for the foreseeable future.

I'll due my best to keep ya’ll honest, in the meantime.

I hope you and your greatly respected advisers are right ...

Ah, it was my mistake for giving you to believe that I thought everything was going to be OK. Maybe I should have underlined caps the part about "I don't know what's going to happen." The future is up to us, but as for the present, so far things really haven't gotten that bad (yet). Like it or not (!) the economy's still getting better and we're no where near in the mess that Carter left.

The weird part is that Obama's trying to seize control of everything may actually be a good thing, he'll over reach and totally fail. His failure would be better than the rot we got bit by bit with FDR, LBJ, and Carter.
