"All That Talk of Depression is Depressing"
In response to: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=11149
Schechter is absolutely right about the first step being to abandon illusions and recognize this is a "system problem." but what are those illusions and what is the problem in the system?
His question about expecting too much from our politicians answers those questions, or at the very least begins to. The illusion is to expect anything from them. This is a system manufactured by elites and politicians. They don't know what went wrong and all they will do is push this problems out the window of their ivory tower onto the masses below and ask us to shoulder the weight of their mistake to make it through so they can continue to do the same things. #8 on the list demonstrates this very well. "Treasury sneaks corporate tax credits into bailout giveaway, shifts costs to states" If local government gives people the most say and control over their immediate environment, and the federal government is dumping their financial problems on the smaller governments, the costs will start to hit the people and the effects will be felt more and more.
