Absolutely agree with you there, John. The blog’s a must read. And I do think Ford will come through in the end, I’m just not sure most younger Americans that grew up in the Techno bubble and all this immaterial financial derivative world will get it, before it’s too late.

Jon Turner here. A subspecies, if you will.

A few years back, I went on the web and printed out photos of everyone I could find with the name Jon Turner & taped ‘em to my office door below the nameplate.

White, black, English, American, Aussie, young, old, thin and plump. CompSci professors, footballers, medical doctors, bagpipe players, rubbish collectors, on and on — quite the variety! Good for a laugh among my peers.

(BTW, John — thanks for your Tomcat config pages. Good stuff!)

The government doesn’t “borrow” from China. The government borrows from the Federal Reserve. The government sells bonds (US Treasuries) to China and everyone else and uses the money to operate. The bonds are a liability…a future obligation to pay that the government cannot honor.

The Federal Reserve didn’t come about until 1913. The United States operated for 100 years before that. How did they do that, if the current system is the only way to operate?

I’m not saying one system is better than the other. I’m saying that the current system is broken and does not work. This should be obvious. Furthering it, continuing it, because nobody is willing to seriously consider valid (but difficult) alternatives is absurd.

The government continues to grow. The government continues to incur a national debt that we can never, ever repay. Our children’s children’s children will never, ever be able to repay it. If a person or a corporation were behaving the way the government is behaving, they’d be in jail for fraud or bankrupt and out of business, or both. The government shouldn’t be an exception…on the contrary, it should be the example, not a laughingstock or caricature.
