Interesting article. as an Australian our country is heavily influenced as to what goes on in the US. Our government will tell you we missed the recession, but truthfully we didn’t. Our unemployment is up. When our last government was in our country was in surplus. Now the new government has spent the surplus and sent us into a 170 billion dollar debt.

Considering our country only has 20 million people. I have no idea how we are meant to pay that back apart from higher taxes on everything which means people won’t be able to afford to pay their mortgages, they will be working harder, longer and for less money because our unemployment is up and when unemployment goes up, wages goes down because people are desperate. Crime goes up and it is a never ending cycle of crap!!!!!!!

Go Governments! NOT! It is funny how our leaders can really bugger things up!

Great post!
