We all have to admit that our most recent "wealth" was fake, ie that the recession is not taking us down to somewhere worse: it's just showing where we've been all along.

The only real debate should be about sharing - all the inflated gains went to a very small group, and the pain is most widely shared, especially, as always, there is collateral damage: when you fall back to the ground after jumping, you hurt more when you touch the ground than if you had stayed there.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Nuh uh.  All my wealth -- all, like, six dollars of it -- is in Treasuries and iTunes giftcards.  I'm going to be in the top 1% pretty soon.
