And why wouldn’t we repeat the same mistakes that led up to the Great Depression?
We are poised to descend into Great Depression II, which will make the original look like a rainy Sunday afternoon at the park. We are ENTERING this one with our military forces already engaged, with a much more extended credit obligation and future unfunded commitments to be filled, and artificially handicapping ourselves through limits on where and how much energy may be extracted and used in this country. Add to that a widespread belief that everything is “Bush’s fault”, and there is a built-in scapegoat that finally gets history off Herbert Hoover’s back.
America is SO screwed.
What nobody seems to take into account is the huge number of semi-transients that are unproductive due to drug abuse earlier in their lives. Couple that with a defunded welfare population and we are looking at a very unstable society. “Unrest” is inevitable, especially when the “disturbances” get wall-to-wall video on your wide screen.
