Understanding the State of the Nation:

While most of us interesed in things beyond on-line gaming, gambling and porn are focused on Iraq, Iran, and whether Hillary or Obama will come through the longest pre-election electoral process in tact, the real state of the nation can be better understood by what is happening in the world of high finance. Want to know what's really driving the nation? Check out ANDREW ROSS SORKIN and CLIFFORD KRAUSS's article, "At $45 Billion, New Contender for Top Buyout," in today's New York Times.

Sorkin and Krauss cover it all, from leveraged buyouts to energy and global warming. It's all here, and if you think about it, this speaks to taxes and the state of social security. A few people have an awful lot of money, and they are driving everyone's agenda.
