Says Tom Friedman in the NYTimes:
"Oh, well, maybe we have the leaders we deserve. Maybe we just want to admire Lance Armstrong, but not be Lance Armstrong. Too much work. Maybe that's the wristband we should be wearing: Live wrong. Party on. Pay later."
TOM, WHAT PART OF: "AMERICA HAS BEEN LOOTED BY INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
FREE TRADE AND GLOBALISM ARE AN ECONOMIC CANCER THAT WERE PLACED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL'S GREED...
A NATION THAT DOES NOT PROTECT IT'S MARKETS IS DESTINE TO LOSE THEM.
The 1970s were plagued by domestic wage inflation; but the answer was not to have capital abandon the American economy for foreign cheap labor.... Some limits should have been placed on organized labor AND GOVERNMENT WAR AND DOMESTIC SPENDING back then, when the situation was still salvagable.
Now it's pretty much too late. Eight years of Bush looting and books like the FLAT WORLD NONSENSE have let it rip....
DON'T BE SO GLOOMY TOM, YOU WERE PART OF THE PROBLEM HERE. THE CURRENT AMERICAN MALISE AND DEFEATISM ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF REPUBLICAN AND WALL STREET GREED, AND THE RIGHT WING MEDIA'S NUMBING OF THE AMERICAN PUBLICS' MIND.
PRAY TO JESUS NOW TOM. HE'S YOUR ONLY HOPE..... ASK KEN MEHLMAN TO HELP YOU "FIND JESUS."
