After 40 years of assault. After eight years spent cutting scuttle holes in the hull.

Does anyone think the economy will "come back" any time soon?

The question has little to do with Obama. It has everything to do with longer term, generational trends.

I do not believe I will live long enough to see an economy as "worry free" as it was even a few years ago. Those years just past are, indeed, the last of the good old days, it seems to me. Anything we coots and codgers do in the rest of our lives will be for the benefit of our kids and grandkids. We geezers, on the other hand, are pretty much fucked.

There are many reasons for this. Most of them go back to repubican ideas and ideals, no matter who put the policies in place.






**"worry free" refers to attitude, not actuality.
