America's Fiscal Crisis: Tough Decisions Needed Now

Excellent summary essay Quinn. And Wiskey has the guts to state the full extent of the horror of what has been done in our name. If we had a parliamentary system, a political solution might be possible through a voting coalition of honest conservatives and progressives who have come full circle in their understanding of what has happened and what has to be done. Like P C Roberts and Pat Buchanan, I am so far to to the right now that I am all the way over to the left, or vice-versa. But we have one party with two wings both controlled by the same financial/industrial/m... conglomerates. The future looks bleak, and now the spectre of nuclear war is again front and center as Bush gives puppets like the Georgian leader the go ahead to attack civilians to provoke the encircled Russians. And he still has months to go in office with the spectre of two candidates to follow whose advisors only differ on the regional focus of empire building. I kind of chuckle sadly as I read this site dedicated to the little investor who is trying to defend petty principal in the face of the errosion of every sector of US civil and economic life, and realize that there are still too many CLHs befuddled out there.
