However, America must bear much of the blame for its failure to do anything to curb household and government borrowing and so boost saving. Its easy monetary and fiscal policies are now beginning to look reckless. The dollar's slide has rightly shifted some of the burden of economic adjustment on to other economies. Sooner or later, though, America will have to face up to its own responsibilities, too.
I'm almost of two minds when it comes to the election this year. While I know we need to get rid of BushCo, I'm pretty certain that if they get re-elected, they'll screw everything up so badly that the Republican party may go away forever or at least become as insignificant as they were in the 1930s.
Of course I may spend my retirement living in a cardboard box if that happens....
