Because the king of steroids is in charge!
But IOUs? Reallly….?
I guess it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: if you don’t invest in infrastructure, the populace becomes dumb enough to accept just about anything. All roads lead to Idiocracy!
If the symphony of forces colluding to create our current economic meltdown isn’t enough to get you down, throw in some gubnatorial malfeasance, medical misrepresentation and overt fiduciary egregiousness and (if you’re anything close to human), you’ll soon be in the same place of despair as me.
But the best antidote to despair: The Motor City! Where all things real become surreal.
“It’s the Cadillac of mini-vans.”
Today we bling, for tomorrow we die.
