SOME PUNDITS ARE NOW ACTUALLY QUESTIONING GLOBALISM ITSELF...AS PERHAPS UNSUSTAINABLE.
THE NOTION THAT THE US CAN SIMPLY "DE-INDUSTRIALIZE" AND QUIT MAKING THINGS...AND THE WORLD WILL STILL FLOCK TO THE US DOLLAR...AS AMERICANS CONSUME IS BEING QUESTIONED...
CLEARLY THE "OLD WAY" DID NOT WORK... AND WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDST OF THAT COLLAPSE...
THE ODDS ARE THAT SOME KIND OF "MANAGED CAPTIALISM" WILL BE THE NEXT BIG THING...
JUST ALLOWING WALL STREET TO LOOT AND BULLSHIT UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT...SEEMS TO BE OFF THE TABLE...
I WOULD HOPE THAT OBAMA & CO...REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT THE 1930'S....
AND THAT THE PRICIPLES OF "MANAGED CAPITALISM" ARE REALLY AN EXTENSION OF THE GOVERNMENT'S ROLE INTO PROVIDING..."NEW UTILITIES."
IT'S NOT JUST ROADS, POSTAL SERVICE AND DEFENSE AS IN THE 18TH CENTURY...
NOW IT'S HEALTH CARE, REAL PENSIONS, BASIC R&D, PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ECONOMY... AND ALAS, EVEN "TAKING THE PUNCH BOWL AWAY" IF SPECULATION GETS OUT OF CONTROL...AND MAKING THE US ECONOMY A "BUBBLE FREE ZONE!"
AND MOST OF ALL "PEACE" AND MOVING AWAY FROM MASSIVE WAR SPENDING...AS THE MAIN GOVERNMENT PORK BARREL FOR THE STATES...
JUST CUTTING AMERICA'S ABSURD "WAR BUDGET" WOULD FUND MANY PROGRAMS THAT ARE NEEDED TO MAKE AMERICAN BUSINESSES COMPETITIVE AGAIN... WITH THINGS LIKE SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE FOR EXAMPLE.
