There is still a strong information based economic revolution hidden under current tarrif and energy based backslide. The computer revolution has added greatly to GDP and it will continue. Regardless of the size or shape of the pie, the fact is that the average person in America has less control over their own economic life now than they had before the Reagan Economics. There is a new dependancy on debt to finance housing and transportation, coupled with new requirements for same, so keep the average person in a perpetual debt cycle with just engough layoffs to ensure that no savings can be built. In the Karl Rove inspired Texas legislature new laws have been passed which restrict the health insurance people can get. This places them on Medicaid if they suffer a health crisis. In the same session the Republican dominated legislature passed a law (signed by Rove's friend and Bush successor Rick Perry) which allows the state to seize the houses of any Medicaid recipients who die or are sent to nursing homes. This is all part of the trend which creates a wide gulf between those who own the majority of the assets in the country, and those who are separated from the few that they had. Thomas Jefferson must be rolling in his grave. TP
