If by "well below average" you mean near World War II levels, then yes, you are right.

KSU Econ 101:  The day we become a 3rd world country is the day we cannot repay our debts and US Bonds become worthless pieces of paper.  The neocons have us teetering on the brink of that situation thanks to policies that started in the Reagan administration. 

But we can't blame Regan for the military-industrial complex.  That started under our friend FDR, but I think we can excuse him given the situation.  Eisenhower warned us of it, LBJ made it worse and Regan took it to a whole new level. 

The evil Bill Clinton gutted the military  :runaway:

W um yeah well   :chainsaw:

don't forget that we would choose our leaders from among a small group of oligarchic families who would pass the presidential baton between them.
