I didn't realize till this moment...you're a dreamer CMS

LOL Guilty as charged
Yes, I am. But in my life being a dreamer has brought every great thing to me. I dont just sit in my room getting stoned and day dreaming. I find ways to translate my dreams into reality. Do things turn out exactly as I envision them, well of course not. But not being cynical has actually allowed me to make as few compromises as possible.
I also want to take issue with just one thing, I may be a "dreamer" but everything I said about F.D.R and the New Deal is 100% true, backed up by history.

You see this all as something outside of the normal cycle etc

Go back and re-read my post. I'm actually making an argument that's rooted IN a cycle. However a long term one. Since the U.S. went through a major industrial revolution post Civil War there have been periods of economic depression and restructuring that stabilizes the economy/society for about half a century until societal progression and change destabilize things again. We're in a period of instability and maybe before it hits that crash level, we should economically restructure in advance as a preventative.

But in the end, I would say, we need folks that dream with there eyes open. I don't quite think Obama is the man.

But you really don't have any basis for that impression. I mean "dream with their eyes open" that's a contradiction in terms. Again, I return to FDR, to come up with the policies necessary to end the Great Depression this guy created govermental systems people had never *heard* of before nor had ever, dare I say, "dreamed of."
The thing about Obama is the only place where he may be naive is he ovestimates Americans. He assumes Americans will be willing to sacrifice in the short term for long term goals like the development of a green economy for example. But considering where we are how can we not take a chance. Things are teetering towards badness and nothing John McCain has to offer can change that.
