Still, 8.7% unemployment with three wars going, an few trillion dollars of debt for out kids to pay off [[$1T= about $6,000/family), the average US family losing $125,000 in equity between the past Wall Street and present housing slump, and the dive in the purchasing power of our money are good starts for simulating Roosevelt's glory days. Change we can believe in.
