    no you actually constructed a decent thought this time...kind-of.

    in egypt the average home lives on 2$ a day.

    i was not suggesting america is as poor as egypt, but i do feel like we are a great nation because of the great programs our government is able to provide for our people...

    the same services i am extremely tired of those on the right side of the aisle bashing and attributing as the main cause of our economic situation.

    i say this often and i will say it again and again in the future - public policy does little to improve or worsen the economy.

    reagan years we had industrial might spurred by excessive and wasteful military spending.

    under clinton we had the ".com" boom and the rise of desktop/laptop PC's.

    i fear as we decide to hack and slash the programs we have, and further divide the rich from the poor, our nation will lose ground in the quality of life.

    there are what...7 or so nations rioting right now? i know england is having troubles with their budget slashers they just elected.

    loose connection really...and a very small end note which suggested a small connection between current events and the direction of public policy in this country.

    thus why i will not say you are a hater...merely petty...as usual.
