Of course it can...Don't be fooled by those sitting in their homes, playing on the Internet...
There are tens of millions that have lost their careers, jobs, businesses, investments, retirements, health-care and most everything else....
Many will never have enough time to recover this government sponsored epic economic disaster.
Dear FRiend, I hope and pray you are so very wrong.
Remember in past times 30% carried the rest, don't lose the faith.....these times are really nothing new, we just need to step up once again.
We're doing it, hopefully it will be done peacefully.
For you, it probably never existed judging from some of your previous snotty defeatist posts. No you don't even have a clue what the American spirit is because in your mind it's all economics.
The American spirit is more than enjoying a 'Pacific wind and eating grilled salmon'. Apparently you don't get it, you don't have it and little hope you will discover it before any real calamity. You can't lose what you don't have.
