“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”
—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)

Jim Rogers: US economy "in a state worse than recession"
"The US economy is undoubtedly in recession," he said. "Many parts of industry are actually in a state worse than recession.
Mr Rogers' comments are followed slavishly by many members of the international investment communities, and his view that the US economy is in a worse state than that suggested by most economic commentators is likely to add to pessimism in some quarters about its health.

Fed rate cut will make matters worse.
Alan that's easy - each Fed rate cut decreases the dollar's value, makes the dollar "smaller" so it takes more of them to buy a barrel of oil.
So GWB should announce the 40.5 gallon Freedom (tm) barrel ?
To be followed by the 39 gallon Liberty (tm) Barrel.

How ironic that we in the USA will soon be clamoring for a leader who can "make the trains."
