Hi Neal I think you are quite correct in your assertion our economy is strong. I have been doing some research on my own. Though I am a far cry from understanding it as some here proclaim. According to one report on the prospects of the global economy I noticed that out of all the "high income" nations. The U.S. was singled out as the one able to bear the greatest burden. Why us? Because our enconomy IS strong, the strongest and being so it is able to bounce back better than all others. Thats why we bailout arseheaded ninnys both foreign and domestic because nobody else can.
So not only with the blood of Americans do we defend freedom we the people also appear to be able to bear the financial burdens of others in this world.
Doesn't mean we will succeed but atleast we're trying.
Yep I like that. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
