William Greider: "Come Home, America: The Rise and Fall (and Redeeming Promise) of Our Country"

The Nations National Affairs correspondent William Greider on the roots of the economic crisis, how U.S. militarism is making the country less safe, Wall Streets inflated power, the role of the Federal Reserve and the future of health care reform. My belief is, and I feel it strongly, is that we are just at the beginning of a really long, hard passage in which Americans, like it or not, have to adjust to these new realities, says Greider.

2. K&R Thanks for posting - this guy is right on so many topics

and so many ways. And, I agree with him that he's right about seeing the Democrats' true colors: I expect them to fail us as well. But sharp analysis on healthcare, the American Empire, labor laws, the tax system, the bailouts, etc. Great post.
