sleepers awake ....."It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe in it". - George Carlin The U.S. is on the verge of a revolutionary paradigm shift as not only is the finance system faltering but the old energy economy of fossil fuels has become too expensive and dangerous due to primarily to its carbon emissions. The wealth divide where the wealthiest 400 people have as much wealth of the bottom 195 million Americans has become obscene and apparent to all. The infrastructure has been long neglected and demands multi-trillions of investment. Industrial production has left America for cheaper labor and the stock market has transformed from an investor in production to a casino betting on derivatives and other wealth instruments. Further, people have lost faith in the major institutions in America - the presidency and Congress are very unpopular, as are the Democrats and Republicans. The corporations and media are no longer trusted.
