I have come to the realization, via living in California, that the whole system needs to be torn down and be rebuilt. In fact - I don't think we need to renovate institutions - I think they need to be torn down and rethought. I believe in having a bureaucracy but eventually it ends up become a drain because it no longer functions. Sure it worked for a short period of time from which it was created but it can't last forever. In fact - I really don't believe in representative democracy any more - its so temporary.
In california the financial decisions have been left up to the people - not about how the government will be run but whether taxes will be raised and school funding will remain the same. It's bullshit because people don't want to raise taxes on themselves and the politicians don't want to destroy the institutions that pay them.
I guess the whole nature of reality continues to become more complex and incomprehsible (economy-i continually read about it and still cannot fully fathom it [I think you have to be a psychologist/sociologist/physicist/philosopher/economist]).
Oh yeah, this is about Obama and FDR. Let's see FDR created new institutions, Obama is miming the policies of FDR. The real difference is that the creation of FDRs institutions were fairly new, love em or hate em, and Obama is trying to do the same things except in this point in history a repetition of old policy is inadequate. Imagine if a dying company said -"lets go back to our roots" and proceeded to start manufacturing something obsolete from 40's years ago. IT may make us feel a sense of nostalgia but it is a pointless gesture in the end.
Similarly, I think the hearkening back to the early days of the U.S. is just as pointless and nostalgic. I think governments/instituions need to die and be reborn.
