Smoke and mirrors economy. Smoke gone and the mirrors are all cracked. US is not far behind.

Do you men the smoke is gone and mirrors all cracked in the US as well?

What happened to the Zurcronium attitude of 'once we get rid of George W. Bush and a Democrat president is elected the US will be back on track'? Have you suffered a sudden revelation?

5th richest nation is world is Iceland.

Money,money must be funny going up, in rich man's world via five star expensive parties.

Some other rich people,should help put Iceland's back at top 5. We need more technical model green future nations.

Iceland's jazz music also great via bands like Mezzoforte.

Iceland no matter how things are,stay cool. There is blessings from challenges.
