You can..."..And Americans are once again saving!!"<br /><br />You can say that again. The only folks I see shopping are the touistas from europe.<br /><br />I'm saving my pennies for the first time in this century. So is everyone I know.<br /><br />No eating out or shows. No stupid toys. No high end geegaws.<br /><br />More debit cards that credit cards.<br /><br />These are all good signs.<br /><br />Personal responsibility is becoming fashionable again!Uncle Sydney 2012https://www.blogger.com/profile/06315955207217416368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916031369325814810.post-18163175042702145102009-04-26T01:34:00.000-04:002009-04-26T01:34:00.000-04:00"-this- country can rebound like no other......."-this- country can rebound like no other...."<br /><br />From your key board to gawds email addy. <br /><br />Also I hope you're right about the "Great Paper Tiger" that is 21st Century Asia.<br /><br />Btw my brother R&R'd in Bangkok during the war.

Dozens die on each of those mega-rises and there is nothing their loved ones can do about it. Bribery rules.<br /><br />As for their economic future...well..Henry Kissinger (Nixon's court J) stated that the Soviet Union would win the Cold War because of their "discipline" and unified government (dictatorship) and that it was his job to negotiate the best second place he could. <br /><br />Don't be fooled by the gloss of Asia, -all- of those regimes are rotten to the core..that includes by much loved second home Thailand.<br /><br />Those countries will always be teetering on the brink of political and economic upheaval while corruption rots them from within.<br /><br />The republicans have badly damaged our economy but -this- country can rebound like no other....<br /><br />..And Americans are once again saving!!Linonoreply@blogger.com
