Considering the following:
- The American president is deeply unpopular and his approval ratings have fallen to historic lows.
- The US military is embroiled in a long-running foreign entanglement with no end in sight.
- The price of oil keeps hitting all-time highs, leading to...
- Sticker shock at the gas pump.
- Meanwhile, the stock market is shaky, and
- The Federal Reserve is unable or unwilling to keep inflation at bay.
So, remind me--is this 1973 or 2008?
