NP - Toryism (Austerity) Isn't Working.

[alice wellintown]

We are not, despite the hysterical rants of bloggers, ina depression.
Moreover, we are not in 1930 or in any decade before it when
depressions were happening because of a bunch of things that no
longert apply. We have a political deadlock and, in this sense we are
more Japanese than we like to admit, more so than the Japanese
economically. That is, we have a political system with no guts because
they don't want to be gutted. So, they are good at kicking cans. But
we are not Japan in economic terms, nort are we Spain or Europe. We
need to open the gates and let workers come to our nation. We need to
end our stupid wars. We need to invest in education and research and
science and technology  and so on. We all know this. There is no easy
way. But we are Yanks and our lips, while not upper or stiff, are
close to our noses and these are close to the grind stone still.
