Dr. Doom Roubini is scared – economy worse than predicted

[Arraya]

[quote=gandalf]Good point, Arraya.

I wonder how much of the GOP’s current anti-environment, anti-conservation policies trace back to Carter’s ineptitude in dealing with oil shocks and Middle East matters in the 1970s?

[/quote]

I’d say all of it. That is about time the environmental movement started and was demonized. Sadly all the thing they said if we wait 30s years to take care of are all converging at the same time and we did not take care of them.

That’s okay, Gandalf I still like you because you are a good husband. I respect Arraya’s views, too. They are very consistent and very well researched. You should not worry so much when I joke about liberals. They are almost as fun to watch as the conservatives. I am more concerned about the encroaching power of government in the very marrow of our lives and that is no joking matter. “The State, that is the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly, also, it lies, and the lie that creeps from its mouth is this: “I, the State, am the People.”
[Nietzsche]

This is what worries me the most, more than who is the President and who runs Congress. It is the prevailing political philosophy that is the most worrisome for me.

Right on, I agree with you, and whether dem or rep (I’m neither), the trend is towards increased government control and consolidation of power. Immediate challenges kind of cloud over this, but on the whole I’m uncomfortable about it too. Things are such a mess right now.

Gandalf, You will be fine. You just have to be thoughtful and not let your emotions override your instinct. I know our ravings sound paranoid. I think watching the people during Katrina was a real eye opener and I have seen government paralyzed during the fires, having sent most of the engines to Lake Arrowhead and farther north. Who did they think was going to fight the fires in San Diego? We were left completely unprotected. I have no faith in government. I respect the work the firefighters do and their bravery, but I have no respect for the huge bureaucracy that takes days to make simple tactical decisions. I think if you plan to take care of yourself and your family for about a week and stay inside and wait out the worst case scenario, be it a man made disaster or a natural, then you will probably be fine. Those who did not plan ahead and cannot survive on what they have in the house, could easily become victims.
