Call me crazy, but fiscal sanity by the legislature offers the best opportunity for jobs and advancement for everybody. Look at the turmoil in Greece and other European countries, and that is not fueled by racial issues, but by over-spending. The financial bill will pass, and analysts report that Goldman will be very happy with it. Warning bells ringing for me!

Of course, we the consumers are responsible in large part for this.  We had to have it all...now...cheap.  We even lied about our motives.  "I didn't buy a Toyota because it was cheaper.  I bought it because it was better." I wonder how many Toyota owners who said that are still driving their Corollas. susiepuma, it’s even worse than you think.  mr. creeper has a small machine shop, doing specialty work in support of what few local manufacturers are left.  He says not only are we losing the factories, we are also losing the know-how to re-establish them if the opportunity ever presents itself.  The loss of knowledge is as great a catastrophe as the loss of capacity.

I just spent sixteen days touring the west.  It was an experience I'll never forget.  There were some places that were so different from what I'm used to around here that I thought I was in a foreign country.  And I'm not talking about the topography. It's taken me a while to figure out the lesson from that trip.  Dorothy had to go to Oz to learn it.  Happily, I only had to go as far as Washington. There's no place like home.
