This is an interesting time in America. The great American idol of greed and success has stumbled. All of his worshippers are scattering in a panic wondering how their great, omniscient god could betray them in their time of need. All the priests of the economy are offering sage advice on CNBC and Fox News. “It’s the Democrats fault!” “No! It’s the Republican’s fault!” “Wait, that isn’t true! It’s rich white people!” On and on they go like the prophets of Baal dancing around a cold altar trying to coax fire from the sky.
We thought George W. would be our savior. Our king who would ride in on a white horse and rescue us from economic and moral damnation. 8 years later, we’re all disappointed. Disillusioned. A little hopeless.
