An interesting take on business/government, with which I don't necessarily disagree. But it will spell the death of true capitalism (which is on its deathbed already anyway).

I also agree that a major terrorist attack within the next year is not at all out of the question; nor is the type of collusion to which you refer.

Capitalism is on life support, appearing to be something of a contender only in comparison with the likes of Airbus, Pemex (petromex?), Citgo, and China in general.

Nazi Germany proved that industry can coexist with fascism - successfully. Capitalism and Adam Smith are not required when everybody agrees on the split.

I do NOT think that there is a planning commission with Osama and one or another Kennedy (or waxman) sharing the chair;

But there are overriding goals shared by the two sides that I'd bet trump reason.
