I am just cherry picking charts and polls -- read this guy's blog and you will see what I mean -- I am still laughing inside.
So you are doing fine, while your country sinks further into debt, which the next generation will have to pay. The problem for them is they will be earning less.

Greed is for the shortsighted.
