We Are Too Big To Fail

The new six-word motto for the United States, submitted and selected by the readers of the Freakonomics blog, is "We Are Too Big to Fail."

Can we get a big "WOOT" for that? Let's hear it for good ol' U-S-of-A!

Personally, I was a big fan of "Consumption's the Cure That Ails Us" After all, overconsumption got us into this mess, and by God, increasing consumption is going to get us out.

Also, major congratulations to the folks at Cash-4-Gold, whose commercials finally made their way from the midnight-5 am timeslot on cable TV all the way to the Super Bowl! Those efforts finally paid off with permanent recognition in motto #4: "The Streets Are Paved With CASH4GOLD.COM."

Let me know which ones you like, and definitely post any ideas of your own.
