OK, so if it is the Bush tax cuts that are the proximate cause of the increase in China's exports (and not Greenboink and Bernanke and the gross cessation of responsibility at the GSEs, and most importantly the complete inability of the average American to just suck it up and live within his means for a day or two) how exactly is genius Daschale's plan to airdrop $300 to every man, woman and child in the US, and to add more credits and income phase-outs, any different? yeah, i guess it builds our service 'infrastructure' of tax accountants and lawyers....

what is 'spending on infrastructure'? you want some more fiber optic capacity (Dashale apparantly does)? better roads, so those goods from China can get to WalMart faster? how about a series of canals criss-crossing the upper midwest? i'm honestly at a loss to understand what infrastructure here is lousy (other than our 100x surplus of lawyers), especially relative to the vaunted Chinese.

Reagan 'sold us to the Japanese'? well, if he did, he sold us at the top; lot of good buying us did for them.

the over-arching problem here, one that we are all being slow to realize and admit, is that we (the US) are OVER; Asia is ascendant now, and we are in structural decay. and frankly, there's nothing Bush or Daschale or Trader Bob Rubin or Franklin Raines or you or I can farking do about it.

Cheers
