It's nice to talk tough now, but financial realities are hard to ignore. The rest of the world does it, why are we too good for it? You people need to put down your AP History book propaganda and go out in the real world. Pick up some classifieds. Your business degree does not mean you'll get a job or that you even know about business at all. The reason we're in this mess is because of all the 24 year old MBA graduates that felt their degree was some sort of black belt in the markets. Oops, good job, you've just crashed the American economy. This is why you don't let young people get high positions in any company. How many of these idiot consultants were running around, telling companies and governments around the nation what to do, when they weren't even competent enough to run a McDonald's?
