I have found at my cost that those new-fangled little smileys are terribly important when everyone has self-esteem below average. Irony just doesn't cut the mustard any more.

Miles, high foreign debt is the reality, Im not as old as you, but the time I have been able to take note, both the US and A, and the republic of Oz, and most other countries worth visiting have had basically yooooge foreign debt.
I mean if it's such a bad thing, and im too young to participate in the grown ups league of custard sucking, walking frame driving, colostomy bag wearing pensioners and frailties, then neither is John Howard or Peter Costello. Because during the second longest term of office for a prime minister, they together mangaed our economy so well, that when they took office and took hold of a 275 billion dollar gross foreign debt in '96, they somehow left the office of the prime minister, and Australia, just under 1 TRILLION DOLLARS in FOREIGN DEBT in 2007...
I think Peter was spouting "Err...Have one for the ...err..family, and one for the...ahh..the economy..err..ah heheh" ....yeah, he knew exactly who was gonna be paying for it...well before any economic crisis and subsequent stimulus.
