2. And here is the NYTimes link that shows how close we are to the USSR situation you noted

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/08/opinion/08sun1.html?_r=1&th&emc=th

The link is to today's New York Times editorial on joblessnesses in the USA today.

From anecdotal stories about the lack of an ability to find jobs for the 50-year-old-plus, the similarity to the situation in the post-Communistic USSR and it's economic collapse is striking ...

So far, looks like Bush did the same for the USA that Regan did for the USSR.

Very depressing but important to acknowledge.
