What I've heard so far is compelling. I've been uneasy for some time now. Not just on the borrowing/monetary thing but on the sheer volume of stuff we consume, the level of which cannot continue. As we head further out on that limb, our talents for doing w/o such things declines. The use of phony money is somewhat similar to that.

Obama is not a complete fool but he reminds me of Bush in that both have/had a breezy sort of belief in their own mind, more than is merited. Pride/arrogance going before a fall.
