Maybe we should be grateful for the crashing economy......

1.  Less work means more time with the wife and kids;

2.  It's easier to keep up with the Jones' whose 401k was 201k'd , mc-mansion is mc-foreclosed and executive BMW lease was ended when Mrs Jones became an ex-Jones.....Does that change the saying to:  keeping up with Jones rather than Jones' ?

3.  When Enron crashed, Kenny Boy's (Ken Lay) scheming with Bill Clinton and yes, Al Gore to take over the US energy market via Carbon Credits went down the tubes.  Here is the rest of the story.  I wonder what other schemes to take over the world went down the tubes when the markets and banks crashed?

4.  Gas prices and trade deficit is down;

5.  Oil revenue to finance terrorist groups and development of nuclear weapons by Islamist regimes has just dried up like....a puddle of pee in the Mohave.

Anyone got anything to add?
