#1 The Russians I know here are bewildered by what is going on. They don't understand why we are "turning into commies", as one of them put it.

#2 What gets me is... they're going to cut the achilles heel of entire industries (like the slow death of a thousand duck-nibbles the oilfield's been suffering the last twenty years, or the faster one it may face under Da Zero...) but it's not going to work, but after all the bankers have gotten their bailout and still have their working capital and their priveliged access to leverage... what are the rest of us in the crippled industries supposed to vote for? A free market where the looters get to keep their money and we don't have any (or a job?) A socialism run for the benefit of the rich connected people on the coasts?

Where are the proletariat supposed to go?

#4 This issue was settled 80 years ago. Even Reagan couldn't get the decision reversed. It will be interesting to see what happens after this round of government aggrandizement.
