Hooray for the downturn!

It's 2006. We're at war in at least two countries in the middle east. Our government openly admits to spying on us in violation of our (supposed) Constitutional rights. National, as well as personal, deficit and debt continues to amass at a frightening rate. Our income tax laws are incomprehensible and confiscatory. A ridiculous proportion of our population remains imprisoned. A global oil crisis looms, while oil companies reap unheard-of profits. The world now hates us. Major manufacturing sectors have announced lay-offs on a scale previously unknown, which is certainly the bellwether of further declining economic times. Our population is relatively dumb and getting moreso by the month. Any notion of free speech as envisioned by our founding fathers has been rendered a joke.

Anyone remember when the worst thing going on in our country was when the President doled out a facial to some tubby staffer? It doesn't seem so bad in retrospect, does it?
