The Downturn Is Good

As a country we've been sort of on a six-year bender, spending money we don't have and generally acting like a bunch of ex-spouses rifling through someone else's money. Unfortunately, we were actually rifling through our own money (or money we had no right to rifle through in the first place).

A little frugality never hurt anyone, and maybe, just maybe, we'll all re-learn self-sufficiency and lose the societal sense of entitlement we've developed. It's as unattractive as that gut from too money Doritos.
