"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."
Winston Churchill
A generation of American children has never known a time of peace, they have never known a time of tranquility or security in their lives. They have grown up with lay offs and computers, cell phones, video games and store closings. One million school aged children are homeless on any given night in America while even the fortunate among them now question the wisdom of going to college in a negative growth society.
It is a tipping point and it is crossing the Rubicon as the unsustainable model of predatory capitalism and globalism are running headlong into financial reality. The rich and the powerful have decided that rather than pay taxes or legislate from a position of patriotism and fairness, they will instead sacrifice the weakest the poorest and the neediest and take this country into the jaws of disaster. They will walk the sacrificial lambs down the road to oblivion soothed with the warm words of fantasy, calming and soothing. "Payrolls Rise, Jobless Rate Falls, Concerns Ease"
George Orwell
