Yeah, the 1990s were horrible economically.

Anyone buy this?

In the 1990s people were hurting -- farmers in particular, though only Willie Nelson and Joel Dyer cared much -- but all we heard about was how great the economy was, even though it was in a big bubble. Now, with numbers that are actually not that bad, we're hearing about how dreadful the economy is right now.

Yes, Putz -- the 1990s sucked and the 2000s have been just awesome, except until just recently. Mmm-hmm. Everyone thinks that.
