The shape of things to come

Morgan Stanley, a premier US financial institution goes, hat in hand, to China for a bailout.

This is indicative of the entire US economy, more and more saddled with intolerable debt. We are about to see the world gorge on our misfortune.

Let us say thank you, to the Republican controlled congress and White House that could take us from a trillion dollar surplus to the largest debtor nation on the planet.

They have gorged at the public trough and now it is the US taxpayer who will pay the price of their greed and mismanagement.

But of course I am not some talented prognosticator, it just was easy to see on Dec 6, and earlier, but somehow Americans are just zombies watching reality TV and Jerry Springer. Somewhere along the line Americans got left behind. That is because public education sucks in this country and the media is owned by a small group of corporations who have no stake or incentive whatsoever to tell you the truth. The talking heads and political pundits are told what to say everyday. They have a script, and they too have no intention or incentive for telling you the truth.
I, on the other hand, don't know what else to tell you, I have no agenda. When you are a scientists, the truth is all you have, all you want, and all you need.
