EBH: “...as we watch the apathy of the worker being encouraged by the political, we have entered the post collapse phase of lowered expectations and the unwinding is very well underway.”
That seems to sum up the current malaise, but it’s not hopeless. The Carter era was similar, and then came Reagan.
Funny...I do not see a Reagan on the horizon. I see lots of potential supporters of someone who would DARE to even say things that Reagan said, but I just do not see a motivator in the ranks.
This person, whoever he/she may be, will have to be able to withstand not just the democrat party onslaught, but also the Republican Party. The comparison between Carter/Reagan to 0bama/???? is no comparison.
I do not like gloom and doom as much as the next person, but the reality is the collapse and unwinding is well underway and we’re past the turning point. They are all working very hard on lowering American’s expectations.
The Walmart employee wants $25,000 a year, little does she realize...in the New Economy, that still isn’t enough even now...let alone for tomorrow.
