What do you call this decade?

Sorry hc5duke, but I have to agree with an earlier post to call it the Crap Decade. It's revolting and disgusting how little has been accomplished in that past 8 years -- nationally for the country I love, and globally for the world I pray will survive.

and globally for the world I pray will survive.

Sorry for the PPB theme, but have you traveled outside the US lately? If not, I would suggest a trip down to Latin America(Brazil in particular). It has improved significantly compared to when I first started going down there in 1995. And many of the international students I met from business school opted to return home rather than staying in the United States as opportunities that never existed were opening up. There are issues but then there have always been issues.

I propose we call this decade the "Cheery-O's"

1) It represents the 0's, which is the stated goal

2) It represents the commercialism present in the decade

3) It can be interpreted as dark and sarcastic, given the state of America.
