I don't think Dave was taking a too personal shot.

No matter what we as a country do wrong in our spending, consuming and such. (which deep down LIL is right)

We have our tenticles out and can manipulate in many ways., (speaking as an American).

If we can't have it or bargain for it, we'll start a war for it and history has proven a dominating military can cut you alot of slack.

If this standard of spending keeps up for the next 7 years we will see something we have never seen before.

But is it in our creditors favor to call in the chips , he'll no they will keep doing what they do, just like selling crack to a junkie.
