It really is amazing, isn't it?  It's not just "your friends."  The 
dollar is down from 95% of everyone's international reserves to about 
60% and falling, it's value is worth 50% of what it was before Bush 
invaded and occupied Iraq ... Russian mafia leaders are buying up our 
most expensive resort properties while the Arabs are buying our 
biggest banks - all at fire sale pricing.  And a lot of people still 
don't have a clue that the nation's been looted, or who did it!    OK 
.... some do ... the costs of land in Costa Rica are going through the 
roof as American's who can, get out.  Buying everything in a "third 
world nation" they can still buy anything with our money ...
