I'm not following you here. You will have to explain. I'm not sure how you are connecting my productivity with the utter failure of the financial markets. Or my happiness with the productivity. I'm lame....I can't figure out what you mean.

The guys who created those financial instruments didn't do so to create something of value. They did it to pass liabilities on to someone else. It is fuzzy thinking on my part. What I'm more focused on is getting out of a recession which is more about attitude than economics. If people with other options are not wasting their own or other's energy we can pull out of this thing without Obama or McCain further stiffling innovation with increased controls, taxation, and bailouts.
