Do you think people in this country will realize that Libertarianism isn't going to work as well as centrally-planned economies once China becomes the dominate super-power?
I think they will still claim we lost our status because we weren't Libertarian enough. If we just did less, than we would still be the dominate super power.
The reason this country is falling from power is because of the myth big business sold our conservative citizens. That there was some Miracle in Philadelphia 1787 -- where our a saint-like founding fathers outlined a perfect constitution...
None of this had anything to do with why we pulled ahead after World War II. That was simply due to our resources and industrial potential combined with a weakening of greater powers. It was precisely because we were behaving more like a centrally-planned economy that we were able to achieve what we did during the war and post-war years.
And in comes this Libertarian hogwash with Reagan. And our country has declined ever since. Should have listened to president bummer during his abominable speech.
