re: The irony in the Stock Market lowering

Worse off? Worse of than what, exactly? Worse off than going over the friggin cliff that we're headed for? What's worse than a completely hollowed out manufacturing base? What's worse than two or three generations of Americans that don't know how to build or make anything? What's worse than being incapable of defending yourself? What's worse than a complete loss of sovereignty and the destruction of your middle class to enrich multinational corporations which have no loyalty to your nation or its people? What's worse than creating an intergenerational dependency class that is a drain on resources and is a captive voting block for whoever will maintain their cliency?
