Mike I sometimes wonder if the parliamentary democracies don’t work better then ours in the U.S. Ours seems to have stalled on critical issues and is stuck in the mud. Our inability to get out of debt, from our government down to the individual is now threatening the rest of world, which is accelerated with the sub-prime mortgage mess we passed on around the world that was hidden in creative financing packages.
