But we'll never know if he did good or bad. Would things have been better if McCain was in office and did things his way? Dunno - who knows? It would have been a completely circumstance if McCain was in office.

So what should have happened already, will eventually happen. It's only a matter of time.

My in-laws make damn good money, yet they live like paupers. It's very odd. They take their money and they tuck it away in various banking accounts. Last Christmas this came up - they finally spending money and upgrading their forty year old house - and my mother in law told us that she has a bad habit of not wanting to spend money because she lived through the depression, and she knows what it's like when it gets "really bad".
I wonder if our generation will see the same ten and twenty years from now.
