Today while reading through the news I became interested in two opposing stories which I believe capture the current state of the American economy. First is the report on the Dow closing at a 17 month high. Impressive and supposedly an indicator that wealth is being generated among Americans thus a big thumbs up for the United States form of capitalism. This contrasts with the second story which details the death of that perennial noble lie, The American Dream.
At times it feels as though we are entering, or are in the midst of, a period of social and economic decline, but looking around I get the sense that nobody really cares. This must be the desperate psychic territory of "The Crank" (also known as that most common of political animals, The Conspiracy Theorist). Happy day, I just realized I'm a crazy person. OTN.
