I know we are in a recession right now. Some have even called it a depression.
I am optimistic about America, though. We will immerge stronger then ever.
We just need to regulate a little bit to prevent our own corporations from destroying our country.

Well, to be honest, I think about this country the United States all the time, and all I conclude is we shall see...I really don't love this country anymore like I once did, because it has become such a mess. I often think to myself it is time to move, but where does one move to? This country still has it better than any other country I know. I generally would like to think I am optimistic, but lately have been going through bouts of anger with this country's government. Seems like the people are all too easy to exploit, and they have a government that is more than capable of doing so.

No, the country is ruled by corporate interests too powerful to control. (out of points)

I'm not feeling optimistic about the world as a whole

We are in a huge technology trap that is about to snap shut.
Don't know what it's like in AU
but if the diesel trains and trucks stopped for 3 days in the US there would be no food in the stores in about a week even in the most remote state. No one under 30 knows how to find information in books as opposed to the internet, much less how to survive without modern comforts
I'm thinking Amish, not the religious end. but the lifestyle

No I imagine that America will go belly up the same way Russia did in the 80's. Oh well..
by Gene H on November 16th, 2009
Yes, quite a lot. People feel better, believe a little more, and have hope. Hope they didn't have for 8 solid years.

No. Our car industry went shitz, our traditional industries (Bohemian glass...) went shitz, not many people will come and spend in Prague next year most likely, neo-nazi parties are on rise... and as a nation we are usually too apathetic to do a thing untill is too late.
But the good times were fun while they lasted.

Not since Obama was elected but I am starting to see hope.
by Moongrim on November 16th, 2009
Yes.
Despite the naysayers determination to destroy America.
by matt89 on November 15th, 2009
I am pretty optimistic about it.
by SoulSearcher on November 15th, 2009
Not since I heard the world was going to end in a couple of years. Ok, serious answer now, I really don't know. Things have to change, people need to use their collective power, take control of the people voted into control. Politician lie, people know this, but choose to let them do all of the talking. We the people, do have the right to step in +5

Nations come and nations go. I think that in my lifetime it will be just fine. Probably in my grandkids lifetime too. After that. No one can tell. Not totally optimistic.

Not at the moment, but betting against America has always been a bad move.
by CaRbOnPrOdUcK is Baccuss on November 15th, 2009
Yes. I'm a pathalogical optimist.
by Takei-Shihan on November 16th, 2009
Yes, Canada will do well in the future.
by quack is whack on November 16th, 2009
The more I learn about our current situation, the less optimistic I feel.

Just 1 year in office, Republican Michigan Gov Rick Snyder turns a 1.5 billion deficit into a $130 million surplus. Why can't Obama?
