I try not to judge, but my wife and I thought this was kinda weak for guys to do this. In Spanish, "Nadie puede hacer nada porque la economía está mal. ¡Hay que trabajar más!" or "Nobody can do anything because the economy is bad --- work more!"

Ultimately, I think there's plenty of blame to go around. I'd be more interested in hearing how we fix it.

TY, Rachel. Funny story... When I met my wife, I didn't speak Spanish, and she didn't speak English. We met in Japan, and my Japanese was incredibly basic at the time. Fortunately, a buddy loaned me his Spanish dictionary and told me to learn five words a day because "I didn't want to sound like a tool when I met the family."

22 years later, some of it stuck, and I figure the Almighty has a sense of humor. Best wishes to you and yours. :)
