True we did not get where we are in just one year . . . but when the wagon is loaded to the point of the axel starting to crack and break, you don't add to the load, in record quantities yet! Tough times coming no doubt, but we shall overcome.

Still a pretty funny song.

Later,




I appreciate your point, but comparing wagon axles to the economy doesn't quite hold up. When the economy is as f**ked up as it has been, the federal government is the only entity that CAN spend anything...and something has to be spent in order to get things moving again. Doing nothing, I believe, is definitely not an option...unless you don't care whether we enter another 30's-like depression. The economy is like the world's largest elephant...hard to stop it, hard to get it to change direction, and extremely hard to get it moving. A VERY slow process indeed.
