Recovering After Capital Trauma

How soon will the world recover from ” these difficult economic times?” More importantly, will the US be the last of the big industrials to recover? Why?

Is government like your insurance company or a group of neighbors. Or is it those scammers in your email? Is government a common investment or a common cold?

What began in the United States, based upon theories promoted by the best of this nation’s colleges and thinkers worked its way throughout most of the world. Nations that bought into it most, failed most. those nations that reduced tax burdens to corporations to zero or lower (by means of incentives) have fallen the furthest. In some cases they have fallen to the level of the self abusing soviet states. Fallen below the criminal nations. They owe much debt, that will not be repaid in my lifetime. We owe them an apology that will never be said. We owe them a debt for serving as the example that should teach us well.

We will not thank them, nor learn that lesson. Not this time, nor the next.

The nations that have a tighter network of citizen support are already reporting GDP growth. Some nations, those that understand the fiction of the “corporation” have had growth the past two quarters. They know that capital is grown at home and that government is the keeper of seed stock. Well cared for seeds that do not go for the trivial roadside planting.

These things have been taken from the US. Perhaps all the native english speaking nations have lost more than the ability to think on their own, they have lost the ability to act. Divided, not united.

The US has trivialized its charter, outsourcing mailing labels at the Post Office and turning the National Science Foundation into a summer job for our nations junior college faculty. Research in America has become an exercise in counting how many customers would buy a film.

Isn’t this a wonderful time, even though it remains, for America, a “difficult economic time.”
