Dom, whoever indoctrinated you into thinking Keynesian economic theory is good was a bad, bad person. His economic philosophy (especially the way it's been improperly and incompletely implemented) is precisely the reason that the global economy is in its current, shaky state. Yes, in the long run, Keynes and his generation is dead. But after three or four generations of Keynesian practice, our generation is left footing the bill for all the excess spending. FDR's admiration for and adoption of Keynesian economics is arguably the main reason the Great Depression lasted so long. It stagnated recovery. </rant>

And I plan on pissing one of you off in the course of this game. I wonder whom it will be.

Or I could pi$$ off everyone el$e.
