How the love of stuff destroyed America

A friend of mine at the church sent this article over on the economy and particularly how we got to where we are.  It traces the roots of the generations through the 60's, 70's, 80's and into the present to show how one bad decision after another has snowballed because greed and the love of money, or as Augustine translated in his City of God, the love of acquisitiveness is the root of all evil.  I hope you enjoy.
