Good morning, Netizens…
David Horsey occasionally errs or otherwise make mistakes, and in today’s cartoon he understated the obvious.
Our national economy is not a truck wreck. It is a train wreck, one that has reached across not only our entire country, but has impacted other countries. The spin doctors, of course, will always attempt to put a positive side on it, but facts are facts. Our economy is crashed and burned.
There are some who are saying we should not be spending money as wildly as we currently are, and they may be right.

I think another mistake in this cartoon is we haven’t hit bottom yet…….

Lewis, I believe you are correct… cept it may be the “emotional” bottom we’ve not smacked up against at this point…. we are likely still in a full denial with regards the cost of liquid fuel… and four dollar gasoline will be back… the freedom to drive whatever we like, where ever we want to go is eroding…. does not make for happy people unless you ride a Vespa…
President Obama’s remarkable accord yesterday with auto workers/unions , oil execs etc etc to move the CAFE standards deadline to the California standard’s nation wide will help…. but all of the stuff over t he past years about peak oil likely is true… and the world cannot get by without liquid fuel yet… john
