The problem with your rhetoric Robert is that's old. 20th century old. Industrialized economy old. Something happened in the last 20 years called the information revolution and it's changed everything including our economy. The old trickle-down 80s Republican economic BS doesn't work anymore. The Laffer curve is dead if it ever was alive. In your day, if a guy started an industrial business and it failed he left behind trained workers, a factory, tools, and infrastructure that the next guy could pick up and start a business with. 100 guys could make 100 things, 1000 guys could make 1000 things. That's gone. Now 1 guy can make 10,000 things or take down the economy with one bad bet. The only way forward is infrastructure and education - and not the crap we have now. This economic crisis is a wake up call that our infrastructure is not up to the task. So move on, cause the World is whether you do or not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:274741 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
