Well, hmmm, I guess there are no new questions. I am curious with regard to all this talk of recession. There are those of us that have been in one for some time, but I guess now that it may effect Wall Street, it is more of a main street/mainstream topic and worthy of Presidential banter.
Being anti-Iraq war makes me a little negative about our hopes in the matter, since we still have to pay for the war and the long term effects of the War. We will have to pay a heavy price for the peace like continuously propping up a government that will likely never be able to stand on its own feet and to take care of our men that return and the families of those that don't (in any sense of that meaning). And even if we do get out of Iraq, we still haven't finished (and some would argue that we have a larger job) in Afghanistan. But I have digressed....
Anyway, I am wondering if our recession will settle on us hard. It was interesting; at least I thought so, that one commentator spoke of us in a National Depression. Not in the financial sense but as a clinically depressed Nation, looking for hope in a message of change. Should we remove the Fluoride from the water and insert xanax? Should Dr. Phil be mandatory in school or for us all (we could combine it with the National ID, like a National Therapy/Voter/DNA/GPS/Border Crossing Card.)
What do you think?
