We're 80 years on from the last time we significantly revamped fiscal policy operations, and a few economic ideologues are JUST beginning to punch their way out of a wet paper bag? All while selfishly preening, hogging the spotlight, and effectively demanding that 320 million people halt all public discourse and pay attention to their tiny voices?
No wonder there really IS a mind-boggling failure in situational awareness.
And yes, these ideologues are fully several paradigms behind the times.
Yet there's another, far deeper issue, that looms behind these symptoms. Our electorate itself is collectively so far behind that it doesn't even elect or listen to it's own, ample supply of pragmatic problem solvers. Only to it's preening ideologues.
There are so many issues and operations involved that no one can - or needs to - understand all of them. All we have to do is be willing to be pragmatic instead of ideological.
If none of us can be as smart as all of us, then for heaven's sake, just leverage all of us? This can be as easy as we choose to make it.
Our greatest need is to get the ideologues off the stage sooner, and get back to simply using ourselves? One tombstone at a time is obviously not enough. Not anywhere near!
Systemic change in personnel requires changing fundamental methods fast enough, which requires bringing in new personnel. It's circular. It doesn't matter where in the cycle change is initiated. Once the cycle is interrupted, it'll fix itself. What we need are more frequent upgrades, just as Tom Jefferson advised, over 200 years ago. So HOW do we DO this? To discover how, we need to get far more minds involved, from all disciplines, across all 50 states.
There is always a way. Yet everyone is discussing every possible detail, instead of focussing on finding a way to just bring more people to a Democracy fight.
BYOD? Bring yer own Democracy?
You don't bring preening plutocrats to a democracy fight. It just don't work.

Robert Gates has joined the ranks of the plutocracy ?
Texas A & M Aggie he is ...
A bastion of rascist southern pride, Texas A & M ?
Do I sense a backlash to Obama admin due by Gates since he will take a Texas Tea party position with his so called "stature" and "pedigree" push against Obama ?
Gates is mortgaging his own legacy to go up against Healthcare for what reason ?
If he is so "independent" and the soldier's soldier, why is he getting political just when QE stops and Healthcare picks up ?
Also, is it not blatantly obvious that Gates controversy comes upon Christie controversy ?
What a waste of time both sides !
Hi Roger,
Why do you use this bird photo?
