Get away from hot head media! Turn it off. These fools search for scapegoats to avoid apology.
Be thoughtful instead:
BILL MOYERS: We’re in a downward spiral.
GEORGE SOROS: We are in a downward spiral.
BILL MOYERS: How long will it go on?
GEORGE SOROS: Look the one thing that my theory says is that you can’t predict the future because the future depends on how you react to it. So if we do the right things then things will not — will be less painful. If you do the wrong things, they’ll be more painful. Now, so far we’ve been doing the wrong things. I very much hope that we’ll have a different government in a few months and they’ll be doing the right things.
BILL MOYERS: Well, don’t be shy. What do you think the new government should do?
BILL MOYERS: Would this all be happening if we still had a strong sense of the social compact? I mean, our social safety net has been greatly reduced. The people have a real sense that the gods of capital have left little space for anyone else. People at the top don’t have much empathy for people at the bottom.
If you want a long view, read something truly sour, The party’s over – our children won’t always be richer than us.
