As usual, Frangela is on fire today. I have to tell you, until Frangela came along, I never thought much of substitute hosts in general. I would get mad when my favorite radio show hosts went on vacation. I would sulk all day, and begrudge the host for seemingly taking so many vacations in a single year. Now, however, I know the secret to sub host success: Get good sub hosts like Frangela!
Anyway, I have a comment. Like most people I am angry about the sorry shape the U.S. is in right now. I feel the world is laughing at us because, unlike we the people, everyone else on the globe realizes the U.S. form of Capitalism is a huge failure.
It should work in theory, except rich people are so greedy, they use money to buy influence (lobbyist and media) so that bad companies profit, and good companies fail. In the end the lowly consumer (U.S. citizens) are always left suffering and paying the bills with none of the "promised" rewards of the fabled Capitalist economy.
Basically I want Socialism in the U.S. I want Universal Healthcare and subsidized higher education. I want a Parliamentary form of government so that multiple political parties run the government. I am tired of our failed Federalism and lottery economy. Our country is a joke!
What can Obama really do? To change things he has to spend money, but thanks to Bush; every dollar Obama tries to spend looks like too much because of the huge deficits Bush ran up. If Obama does nothing to socialize the U.S. he is another status quo, failed president. But his hands are so tied by status quo politicians in Congress.
The truth is, most people I talk to one-on-one envy Socialistic European countries and Canada. They realize Capitalism only benefits big fish, but they don't know how to fix the situation other than escape the U.S. If Obama doesn't get something right in four years; I'm putting on my "sombrero" and heading to Canada.
