2003 was obviously a year of exteme doom and gloom. So obvious back then was the resulting economics malaise, the so many dead American soldiers, and other problems we now have today. Because of what was happening back then. Those who do not see beyond their nose actually saw 2003 as a good year. It was a disaster. Many could not see what was obviously coming.

I no longer see doom and gloom. My postings returned to optimism that existed before 2000. Things are clearly improving now that we are not longer doing what was so clearly stupid back in and after 2000.

It will certainly take a decade to undo that mess. Just like it took solutions, implemented about 1977, to finally create a recovery in 1985. What should be clear. We got lucky in 2008. Our leaders did not make the mistakes made by Hoover and FDR after 1929. We are undoing damage and implementing solutions to restart growth of an average American's living standards. Despite fools who criticize what literally saved our ass – ie Tarp. We did not start fixing anything until after 2008. Unquestionably things are getting better.

Review 1977 to 1985. See so many Americans back then in 'doom and gloom' because they did not see what was important. They even complained about high oil prices when oil really was so cheap. Japan even was fixing crappy products on America’s highways. Bankruptcy was attacking anti-American corporations. Only the myopic did not see life finally getting better. Today, things are improving massively IF one beholds what is relevant.

We are slowly undoing multiple disasters, created by our leaders, that so dominated that first decade of the 21 Century.

But be wary. Wacko extremists want to restore and create new disasters. A greatest threat to the Tea Party is for America to succeed.
