SteveAZ – thank you. Me, too.

I’m reading the headlines that Europe is even worse off financially than we are, and that in fact France begged Paulson to step in and save AIG. And I had read previously that since his little escapade in Georgia, Russia has lost 6 or 9 billion in outflowing investment capital — I can’t remember the exact number, but it was a hefty chunk.

So who is supposed to replace poor old America when we fail? China? India? Don’t be ridiculous. Maybe Mika can get Canada and Mexico together to form an anti-United States of North America, but I just don’t see America failing real soon, and if we do who’s going to be above us on the food chain to notice?
