So, I read comics. Yes I am an adult, no I don’t read about super-heroes. We can have this tired argument later. The point is that as a reader of comics, I also read a number of online resources about comics.
Consistently the best of these, to my taste, is comic writer Steve Grant‘s weekly column, Permanent Damage.
Typically the column has some stuff about the state of the comic industry, some political commentary, and occasionally even some notes on TV. If you can get past the hyperbole (referring to Bush as “the Hand Puppet”/”HP”), the commentary is pretty much spot-on.
This quote is from the political section of this week’s column, where Grant looks at the currency & spending issues, starting from Greenspan’s speech.
The bottom line: we’re in debt. We’re in debt up to our eyeballs. In fact, our eyeballs were left behind miles back. The USA is now in debt past the point (the percentage of their totally economy) that we’ve previously insisted other, smaller nations completely restructure their economies. (Argentina, for instance.)
