    And yet, two or three decades from now many people will look back on the era nostalgically.

    I highly doubt that; I don't know too many people who look back on the 30s nostalgically.

    I see your point, but I'm afraid the next decade may look a lot more like the 1930's than this one does.

    ....it's pretty bad for the U.S., but it could have been much, much worse...

    We aren't out of the woods yet. The ripples in today's markets caused by Dubai World's default is proof enough of that.

    This decade has sucked ass. The 1990s were way better.

    I'm tempted to move most my retirement funds to overseas funds. Right now, I only have 20% or 30% allotted to overseas funds.

    Wish I could read tea leaves better.

    Everything he brings up, could you not do the same for every decade? Natural disasters, financial troubles, violent "peace time"?

    I hate generalizing about decades, especially since 1999 had more in common with 2000 than it did with 1990. There's an element of arbitrariness to this kind of thinking.

    That said, the last 9-10 years have been good for me.

    The 00's isn't the 30's, it's the 20's.

    Yep. So I pick up a bottle of HEB apple juice yesterday and notice a stamp on the bottle saying it's made from concentrate imported from china. that, I stick it back on the shelf and grab the more expensive USDA certified organic stuff. This morning I look at the ingredients and it says made from concentrate imported from china. So I think WTF I can't even buy american made apple juice in the land of Johnny Appleseed, how badly have we ed ourselves over?

    Once the government realizes that hair of the dog doesn't really cure a hangover we can get back to the business of paying for our mistakes.

    A hangover is due partly to poisoning by the toxic chemicals into which alcohol is converted by the body and the other components of the alcoholic drink; partly due to dehydration and improper levels of electrolytes, blood glucose, and/or B-vitamins; and partly to the body's reaction to withdrawal from alcohol. The symptoms of a hangover are similar to those of withdrawal, namely a throbbing headache, nausea, and possible vomiting. Thus consuming more alcohol ("hair of the dog") may help by blunting some of these symptoms,[4] but will only aggravate the symptoms once the liver breaks the alcohol down, because the body will have additional toxins to deal with. Some researchers have suggested that ethanol may help dilute other alcohols that cause many of the hangover symptoms, but no controlled studies were carried out.[5][6]

    I don't know how bad it really was compared to the decades previous to my lifetime. All I know is that the 90's were the mother ing in every way possible. And that 2000-2009 has left me cynical, jaded, angry and hopeless in just about every way possible.

    So it's not only that the 2000's sucked donkey ass, it's that they followed a decade of glorious bliss. The dichotomy has been hard to stomach.
