Depends on which 'we' you're talking about. If you have stock in Big
Oil, yes, you're making money. If you work for or have stock in
Halliburton (like the VP), you're raking it in. If you're a Chinese
money lender...well, we just borrowed half the national debt from you,
so you made a little bit.

Most of the rest of us--no--not to mention that it's our children (and
likely 'their' children) who will end up paying it all back.
