The Observation Deck

This morning it became oh so clear to me.

In the largest shift in wealth in the world, it occurred to me that America which has worked for the last eight making the top 10% richer.

These are energy, oil, and military complex guys.

We only have one thing left to sell. Our oil, gas and mineral reserves.

But it all makes sense, after all these are oil and energy guys. They only dabble in companies that sell to the military.

We did not drill fast enough for them, now they are going to come and take it to pay off the loans.

I fear we have lost the final thing that could have kept America free and safe decades down the road.

In eight short years, America has spent all of it's money, the money of our lenders, and the money from the next 5 generations. In the great depression we manufactured our way out of the problem. Today, all of that manufacturing is in China.

Of course as one Republican pundent put it last night on FOX. It really does not matter who gets elected, they will be president of a bankrupt country with very serious needs for the next couple generations. Of course he mentioned only John McCain...

I hope the last eight years was worth it.

.

someone once suggested the U.S. will end up inflationing its way out of much of the debt.

the drawback with winning world war II is that the folks who got most ahead from that experience wanted to vicariously re-live that experience, and so did many folks from later generations.
