So what is our American future to be?

We do have choices. Think a generation is 30 years, and so what do we want America to be in two generations, say 2067?

Are we to be some kind of China thought control dictatorship where even our internet searches are reviewed for relativism? Most doubt it given the normal human repulsion to environmental impacts like birth defects, or nepotism, or robbing peter to pay paul.

Maybe America in 2067 does want to rob peter to pay paul, here. Those playing today at anarchist games without fear of physical retribution can frolic away, and maybe even get paid. Tearing down a culture and society can be appealing to many egos. Building a new model and culture is tough work, and to be avoided by the aforementioned, most believe.

Most appalling is not the idealism and good intents (or even the paid propaganda intents), but the divide between the visionaries (as they call themselves) and the implementers. Three large normal factors loom: 1) these ideas have all been tried and failed before; and 2) whose going to pay for it all since most tax payers will bail out in the long run (60 years); and 3) we’ve already figured it out. Even China’s dictatorship cannot stop their own citizens bailing out. And the return of pay as you go will return to “like the old days”, when no one in their right mind would loan us money as a nation ($3 billion a day). This idea is not a wish, just a recognition that much change is in the air.

In the end, the world, and the USA, will be better off, we hope. What a shame so few people today will make so many of us today go through their failing painful interim process. It could have been evolutionary and better with leadership. It might have even been better as to the human outcome.
