That is what I was getting at. If we straighten ourselves out the rest just falls into place. If each of us is more productive and creative at work "society" benefits. If we go to work just to squeeze a few bucks out of the system, we get the kind of nonsense the banking system is going through.
I'd need a example from Dana on what that job would be. When I was a kid putting in hay in the summer it was tough, but had a certain kind of satisfaction. Tough manual labor is satisfying to certain kinds of folks. If you are not that kind you should do something else if you can.

The guys who created those financial instruments didn't do so to create something of value. They did it to pass liabilities on to someone else. It is fuzzy thinking on my part. What I'm more focused on is getting out of a recession which is more about attitude than economics. If people with other options are not wasting their own or other's energy we can pull out of this thing without Obama or McCain further stiffling innovation with increased controls, taxation, and bailouts.
