Remember the movie Life of Brian when they were discussing "what has Rome ever done for us, nothing except inslave us"? ... what about the roads? ...of course there are the roads but besides that nothing.
...and health care?
Besides roads and health care they haven't done anything.
...and the wine?
...and the aquaduct?
... -a 20 item list-
Well besides all that, what has ROme ever done for us?

Your post reminded me of that hilarious scene.


The ruling class have little reason to think anything is wrong except for being stuck in a margin call and selling their hedge funds.

If you had several billion dollars, you might not be as self absorbed as most in the American Ruling Class, but you would be prone to being a bit more positive during the coming meltdown than the families that never dreamed that they would face the stark realities of homelessness.
