wtf? [blinks rapidly] What's the context of that comment, please? Clearly I missed the antecedent.
“Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad.”
I’d say it’s a lot different. 50 years ago, we actually manufactured things. 50 years ago, we ran trade surpluses. 50 years ago, most people drove American cars. 50 years ago, the Chinese did not own any of our debt. In fact, they were starving to death because of Mao Zedong’s ill-conceived economic policies. 50 years ago, communists were America’s enemy. Now they advise the president. 50 years ago, Hollywood was as decadent as today, but they did not reflect it in their movies.
We still despise Communism and Communist sympathizers. So sad.
