call me a contrarian, but tough times are good for nations-- look at what came out of the great depression. and now, whiney weasels that we have become could learn to adapt to the future.

I agree to an extent, bc we had this coming eventually. But i just hate how we are getting there bc everything seems to be rigged for all the right people in the right places. You could argue that thats the way its always been. But not like this. Look at Wall Street and companies attached to Iraq via reconstruction contracts i.e..the oil tycoons. Some of these contracts for Iraq are not even a contract. They see the U.S taxpayer paid 11 million for something, but have no idea who it was going to or anything. And now there is a theory that speculation of oil prices, which u almost never heard about, is a cause for driving up cost.
They all involve too much free reign, oversight stripped, which is a staple of Bush's policy. There is more oversight on a hamburger than there is with a barrel of oil.
