Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

- James Howard Kunstler -

Let's see, this week, if Kunstler has anything to contribute to solving America's problems. It is possible the man has some ideas that I've overlooked, and I think some here have been overeager to criticize him.

First he says,"the country had changed from a nation of farmers and factory workers to a nation of pole dancers and waiters, now awaits his sublime moment of Hooverization." Well, that may be an exaggeration, but it does have some merit. Now the next logical step would be to name the casual factor for that change, which Kunstler does not do -- although he does mention Hooverization, which was nothing more than rationing items because of WWI. So that certainly is not a cause of our current malaise. He could have name the real cause -- FDR's progressive programs and increasing government involvement in our daily lives, an involvement which has increased under Obama (whom he voted for) -- but doesn't.

Then Kunstler goes into a rant about the Duck Dynasty TV show, Kim Kardashsian, and tattoos -- things currently on the scene that we can, apparently, never recover from. And if that were not enough, the cost of oil is the Coup de gras. Now, apparently if the cost of oil could be lowered -- according to Kunstler's logic -- the current situation (tattoos and all) could well be salvaged. Well, the cost of oil could well be lowered if only the environmental lobby could be broken, something both parties (but especially the Democrats) have been unwilling to do. The trite, but yet powerful phase "Drill, baby, Drill" could well be our salvation.

After jumping and dumping on Japan -- no oil, no nuclear future, no nothing -- Kunstler then extrapolates that to the rest of the world and sees no way out.

We are doomed, doomed! I tried to find something meaningful, but couldn't.

Début de l'article :The Federal Reserve answers only to God, but Ben Bernanke’s must not have known that his boss was such a prankster. All of a sudden here is the interest rate of 10-year Treasury paper rising like an angry carbuncle on Ben’s pale tuchus just when he thought he could sit back and watch the mud wrestling contest between Larry Summers and Janet Yellen. Poor Ben, sedulous student of the Great Depression, who didn’t notice that the country had changed from a nation of farmers and factory workers... Lire la suite
