Re: Under what absurd chicken littleism ... (none / 1)

Some well-thought out limits would make your point more persuasive.
We can debate the percentage of GDP that can be piled up and burned to keep warm, (at a time of crumbling infrastructure, crappy education and exploding health care costs), or re-argue Chalmers Johnson's three volumes, but that was not the point of the diary.

What will reliably break the bank is a cutoff of funds from foreign investors.
We live on their credit card.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
