Understanding people will continue to flee for the exits until the correct policy is implemented. Once you are clear of a burning building, one can watch the carnage at leisure.
I agree 100% with what is boldfaced. Hope won't put food on the table - a sound economy will. Originally Posted by jungle

We will recover, but not without some difficult economic lessons to be had. Hopefully this generation (and future ones) will save more, spend less and build wealth. My "hope" is that people will start looking out for themselves (i.e., build your own nest egg) and not rely on an i.o.u. from Uncle Sam or their employer.
Is there hope? Only if sound and prudent economic principles are practiced - starting with the proverbial Joe Sixpack.
