Sometime soon, likely in the next five years or so, there is going to be an emergency meeting in the White House Situation Room. It probably will start in the wee hours of the morning, when the early risers among Europe’s oil traders and currency speculators have already begun to scramble out of the way of what’s coming. None of the worried participants in that meeting will have a good solution to propose, because there will be no way for the United States to turn without embracing calamity of one kind or another. The president will listen as his closest advisers lay out the dilemma. After a long silence, he will say, “You’re telling me that everything— everything—is coming unglued.” He’ll be right. At that point, there will be no good options, only less awful ones. Don’t count on the wise and worldly who occupy the highest echelons of government power to know what they are doing when they sit in that meeting. Solving the puzzle of what to do will fall to the same kind of people who today are standing by and letting disaster build. Some of them just don’t know any better. They see all of mankind’s turmoil as cartoon like conflicts between white hats and black hats. Others know that reality is more complex, but it’s so easy, and often politically convenient, to let everything boil down to good guys battling bad guys. Sharing Widget |
