Carter gave a speech outlining the hard choices we as a country needed to make. It was nicknamed his "malaise" speech because the subject depressed most Americans, who then voted for Ronald Reagan, whose message was basically 'Don't worry, We're American, Be happy'. Reagan won in a landslide, and no President since then has had the balls to be honest and tell people the way it really is. If you re-read Carter's speech you'll be startled to see how correct he turned out to be.

I'm telling you, buy Exxon stock and all this won't be so depressing. The country may go broke, but you won't care, you'll be rich and can retire in Monaco, or Texas, or some other place that doesn't have personal income taxes, and live a life of ease.

maybe if there was some conviction and inspiration attached to it people my have embraced it, but that's not enough. the federalists would have needed to create a very different ideology based on america as a country "first" as opposed to the unregulated, sometimes hyper-criminal capitalism that emerged from those times and has become the very essence of our economic model today.

it's what my grandmother did (a lot). now my mother after inheriting them is selling them off on the advice of her financial planner.
