Which is where?
I believe we're aleady on our way to where I want it to be, albeit too slowly. Well, maybe not
exactly, where I want it to be. But if we keep building on exports and the growth I'm seeing in manufacturing of late, we're pointed in the right direction. If we start producing again, the debt will get paid down.
Too bad we can't make the right wing fearmongers stop scaring the hell out of everyone, and the oil industry to stop jacking up gas prices, then maybe the recovery would pick up speed.
