MONTHLY STATEMENT OF THE PUBLIC DEBT (as of 10/31/2009)

I can’t wait for the “reform”, which will extend and redistribute that burden to more people, in more places. Economics -101 (aka, Marx’s dream) has been, and will always be a failure. The road to capitalism passes through Marxism (aka totalitarianism). Unfortunately, many people have it backwards. So, we progress, then regress, …

It’s too bad that China has that backward communist political/social system, because their embrace of capitalism will be the envy of the world.

Seriously, "children" of all persuasions should curb their egos, and not coopt other people's work. I still wonder what, if any, are the substantial differences between children and adults. In too many cases, it is a quantity of wrinkles and nothing more. It is obvious that wisdom does not come with age for everyone. Although, like their immature counterparts, I would hope that adults are never too old to learn from their mistakes. Finders keepers, losers weepers?
