New Disagree on one point, Ross
The only hope is protectionism, tariffs, shut the doors and do it all here, and damn the rest of the world.

It's not the only hope, Ross. The other last, best hope is complete and utter defeat in Nov04 of the entire shitferbrains outfit allegedly running things (into the ground) in Washington. Otherwise, what will ensue will make the Depression look like the Dot-Com boom in comparison.

Boy I'd like to see those words on a PR banner behind [Treasury Secretary John] Snow at the podium:
Jobs and Growth: Just Wait.

New Hey!
Stop getting Washington confused with Washington, D.C. - We've got enough of our own problems around here... ;)
In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others?

Therin lies the true measure of a man.

But you gotta admit, that the only real difference between the shitferbrains outfit allegedly running things (into the ground) in Washington D.C. and the shitferbrains outfit allegedly running things (into the ground) in Washington State, is that we get to go through the motions of voting the former out of office in around a year.

New Not likely
The odds of the Green party sweeping both parties out of power is rather slim.

Replacing Bush with a Democrat isn't going to help much if any. They are all pro-Freetrade and pro-WTO. Heck, Bush is actually more protectionist then most of the Democratic canidates.
