Brave New World

Nationalism will increasingly elide with business "stimulus" packages until taxpayers own larger proportions of major businesses and industries that would otherwise, in a global open economy, go under.

The Chinese are heralded in the New York Times for spending $ 586 Billion on their "stimulus package."  But they are a Communist country.

We are now like a Communist country, but one in which the people actually have a say.  Even that scarcely guarantees we won't badly fuck up.
