This miracle to all.

Editor,

The U.S.A. is just about totally destroyed now for all but the few who still have a seat in the lifeboats or are partying on deck while the holes in our ship's hull are still plugged with silly putty.

Henry Ford's theory, which ultimately created the largest and most prosperous middle class the world has ever known, was to pay his employees enough to buy the products they made. Then came the free market fundamentalists, who paid poor people overseas 50 cents a day to build products for unemployed American workers.

We're playing a game of musical chairs. The music for the moment has stopped, and 15 million Americans are left without a chair. The "economy" has been downsized and will recover without them. Their jobs are never coming back.

American presidents are always fighting wars. "Democratic free market capitalism" is God's gift to humanity, and American presidents are God's vehicle to bring this miracle to all.
