Less than that is asking for it. Those are scary stats! Hey Steve,

Wow, 1 cent per dollar for savings is definitely way too small. Less than that is asking for it.

I am reminded of the old saying, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." There is plenty of blame to go around for our current economic situation. Living on debt and credit couldn't go on forever. I read some great numbers in a George Will column today: "In the three decades prior to the 1990s, Americans saved nine cents of every after-tax dollar. Since then, they have saved 3.5 cents of each dollar; in each of the last three years they have saved less than a penny of each dollar." If we start living within (instead of beyond) our means, I think we will be ok long term. ~ Steve (the Trade Show Guru) <abbr><em>Trade Show Guru´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.trade-show-guru.com/2008/10/trade-show-planning/" rel="nofollow">Trade Show Planning - Choosing the Right Trade Show</a></abbr></em> hi Rudy,

I'm concerned, but I'm not going to worry. I trust this nation can take care of itself. It always had. The world will not let this great country go sideways, anyway. Too many people depend on this country. Thanks Brett.

Good analysis of the situation and some of the real reasons for this (finally got over here to say hi – and thanks for the pingback).

It is up to “us” to get “us” out of this.
