Funny, all this talk of recession. While I can’t help but attribute some of it to that same thing which makes the news media report endlessly on possible terrorist attacks, possible natural disasters, and possible epidemic outbreaks, still, we do seem long overdue on a economic humbling. No American my age really knows what ‘poverty’ means or knows true ‘want’ for that matter.
But I do hesitate to join in with those who would blame a politician or single political philosphy for any downturn. Seems to me a low-point is part of the natural order. With two decades of unheard of wealth, did we really think it would last forever? Everything comes to an end, but of ends come re-births and so on…
