Bob; I think that is why many of us feel that we are of a different mindset 
than you. I, at least, don't think "back to normal" is a good thing. The 
false economy, as you have pointed out, rewards the rich and punishes the 
people who actually do the work (which is most of us on this list). In the 
'good years', things were inflated far beyond their actual value. Now that 
the entire country and everyone in it is in debt, 'they' are bemoaning the 
fact that people are *gasp* not spending money they don't have. Something is 
terribly wrong with that picture. I think the whole economy has to come 
tumbling down enough to bring even the rich to their knees, then it can be 
rebuilt, valuing REAL productivity, NOT paper shuffling or monitoring 
electronic blips.
