Doesn't mean we will succeed but at least we're trying.

Yep I like that. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
No good deed goes unpunished. Remember there are those who think everything we do is evil. There's even one forum member who's mad because his country didn't sell us enough BMW's last year to pay his governments social programs that put food on his table. Never mind the fact that if we weren't there for defense for 20 years, that country's capital would be full of gold coupla's. Surely I digress...

Don't forget that we still have a GDP of 14 Trillion. We may take a short term hit, hit a few bumps, but I wouldn't write us off yet. I think Americans do their best when the chips are down.
