RE:RE:da $$$ gets smashed as Dems bail out spendthrift states
So pessimisstic. There is a different point of view that sees global integration as unleashing massive production and consumption capacities, a more peaceful and prosperous world, and if it is done using the world’s best and brightest minds developing a new cleaner energy framework, more people will be better off than any time before.
Did American capitalism fail to soften the transition into the new silicon based economy for displaced American workers? Yes. Did it fail to require sensible taxation of the ultra-wealthy and channel those revenues back into programs to relieve and assist American working families, yes. Does that mean progress is wrong? No it just means it has been implemented without finesse in some countries.
Quit looking backwards to a time when America prospered but left out tens of millions of its own at home, and billions overseas. The future could belong to an America that leads from the front.
No imagination. No empathy, No hope. Sad negative thinking and ready for the dustbin of history indeed.
