WELCOME TO GLOOM AND DOOM: THE BLOG FOR OUR TIMES.
This Blog's "agenda" is not to have an agenda. The only question
asked is: WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING?
True, some may think we are "too liberal;" but that is because WE
believe that the only way to think about public policy is using "WE,"
not "ME" as the prime directive. IT'S A PRONOUN PROBLEM!
WHAT IS GOOD FOR SOCIETY AS A WHOLE? WHAT PRESERVES CONSUMER
CAPITALISM IN AMERICA?
NOT, WHAT IS GOOD FOR MY PERSONAL INTERESTS. OR, MY SPEICAL
INTERESTS.
And, that ME/WE dicotomy is really the ENTIRE difference between the
Democrats and Republicans today; on an ideological level. IT'S
REALLY ALL ABOUT PRONOUNS!
True, the teachers unions and other public sector unions are greedy!
And, they must be forced to "give good value: for the tax money they
recieve. And, yes, they can't be trusted to do this "volunarily."
BUT, A COMPLEX ECONOMY AND A MODERN SOCIETY NEEDS, INDEED REQUIRES, A
STRONG PUBLIC SECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE!
AND, THIS "STARVE THE BEAST" NONSENSE FROM SOME REPUBLICANS IS JUST A
FORMULA FOR DISASTER!
The real proof of the INTELLECTUAL BANKRUPTCY of the Republican
ideology is found in their absolute need for WEDGE ISSUES.
Gay Marriage. Abortion. Flag Burning. These issues are all non-
issues designed to DISTRACT rather than ENLIGHTEN THE ELECTORATE.
THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IS IN THE TERMINAL STAGES OF BEING LOOTED BY
THE "CULT OF THE CEO" THAT TOOK OVER OUR ECONOMY AROUND 1982.
AFTER 20 YEARS OF LOOTING, AMERICAN INDUSTRY IS NO LONGER THE CENTER
OF ECONOMIC GRAVITY FOR THE WORLD!
Indeed, as more and more large companies "move to China," the smaller
companies are under increasing GRAVITATIONAL PULL to follow.
THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT IS NOW IN CHINA;
AND, THOSE AMERICAN COMPANIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING AGAINST THIS
ECONOMIC "LAW OF GRAVITY" ARE DOOMED TO FAIL.
Recently, Dubya and Chums have put the frosting on the "looting"
cake with guns, butter and tax cuts for the rich, and did I mention
THEIR "war?"
Dubya and Co. are likely the final straw in THE GREAT LOOTING that
has last these 20 years; that is how historians might see it.
But, there is absolutely no doubt that Dubya will be viewed by
history as the WORST PRESIDENT in the history of the Republic.
Far worse than the "usual suspects" like Andrew Johnson, Grant,
Harding and Hoover. Indeed, we could use the "genius" of a Grant,
Harding and Hoover just about now!
So, that's the bad news.
The good news is that we will survive! Because the people are always
stronger than the politicians; no matter how corrupt the political
class becomes. Because, Sooner or later, PEOPLE WISE UP!
True, some people are slower than others, and that's OK. Some, like
the Deaniacs and the Naderites, are "early adopters" of the need for
change. Some, blindly follow the corrupt leadership down to shame
and disaster, because they were "just following orders," or were
trying to be "Loyal Americans!"
(Or "Good Germans?")
THAT'S WHAT THIS BLOG IS ALL ABOUT; To feed this drip, drip, drip of
SAVING AMERICA FROM IT'S CURRENT CORRUPT LEADERSHIP; BOTH ON WALL
STREET AND IN WASHINGTON.
