USA - "Laboring Under A Conclave Of Would-Be Wizards" | Zero Hedge

I don't know about the timing...the fall this fall but, I'm surprised that our nation has been able to perpetuate the status quo as long as it has. I thought James Howard Kunstler's perspective interesting on where we are and where we may be going soon. In part, he says:

"Historians will remark that it was a beautiful August with bright days and cool nights for sleeping, and the Hamptons were ablaze with self-satisfied egos, and that nobody was paying attention to all the mischief that was set in motion the previous spring, not to mention the many seasons of bad behavior that preceded it. And when they returned from vacation, lo, the world was in crisis. What a surprise."

Indeed, a surprise it will be to many!
