We are facing some economic difficulties, they're real and for many people, very painful.. but.. it could be a lot worse. About 90% of us are working, most of us are paying our mortgages, and the biggest problems Americans have are still problems of affluence.. ie too much food, etc. Read Egan's book for some perspective of what a real hard time in the United States is all about.
