SITTING HERE at the bottom of the cliff, shaken, but glad to still be alive, i look around, and see the after effects of the great leap. Its a very different view, looking up. Now i and probably the rest of you americans can see a future of sacrifice, frustration, and striving, as our once much more prosperous nation settles into a lower standard of living.
Exporting all these jobs overseas to save money might finally become to haunt us, as we now scramble to keep even low wage jobs in this country. you simply cannot simultaneously maintain a global military empire while accumulating a national debt of untold trillions of dollars - not indefinitely, anyway.
We quit making clothing, shoes, household appliances, motorcycles, and heavens only knows what else, in america, and instead sell each othr financial and other trivial services. A nation of productionless paper chasers.
so going over the cliff, in some way, shape, form or fashion, in one way or another...was/is inevitable. Swe all, as americans, have to help pay for this mess we're in. And there's no time like the present.
Welcome to the salt mines. I'll see you at work tomorrow...
