I hope I am completely wrong and that the economy is back to normal in 2-3 years.

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.
