My take: we're fucked globally, for a while. Think the 2008
recession and I suspect we'll be in the ballpark.

Strong opinions stated twice. I did not vote for the Tea Party.
What's your take on this as a global situation?

Like many of us, I have been reading a wide range of opinions
online about this, and had been looking forward to the discussion
here.
So what's the sense here?
My nickel: despite the gloom and doom, the prophecies of the final
demise of the middle class, the unbelievable behaviour by the Tea
Party folks- petulant, arrogant and childish behaviour- overall I
am heartened by the necessity that we attempt to think like a
global culture in order to resolve and upgrade how we operate.
Similarly to the weather: we finally have to confront that this is
all one planet, like it or not: there is nowhere else to go.
Our engagement now with these two situations - global economics,
global weather - I think will be seen as our watershed moment in a
couple hundred years. I am a designated optimist, so there's that.
However, the demand right now that we work together requires
accountability from everyone to everyone, no one left out anymore.
We are overdue for this. I wish it weren't happening while I was
around, but I am around.
Keeping the big picture in mind, not yielding to panic, and
reminding people we've been through difficult times before.
Stronger opinions re China and the US/West's addiction to their
cheaply made merchandise and to consumerism (especially after
Sarbajit's comments re cell phones), and the Tea Party will wait
until I see if anyone picks this thread up.
Yes, I read Tom Friedman.
