Bill Maher's take on China struck a nerve with yours truly because it's the truth. While we bloviate about personal slights, culture wars and religion, China's building stuff like we use to do prior to Ronnie Reagan using deregulation to gut US manufacturing in order to gin profits to stockholders while, in effect, creating modern China. Ross Perot was right, give countries the tools to build stuff and ... for a while, America makes out until said tools are used to compete, something that's happening to us as we speak. Can the US come back, yes, but it will take guts to make it happen. Let's hope it will. before it's too late.
End of rant for now.
