David the downer

Is it possible we shouldn't have started a $1.6 trillion war? Or passed a prescription drug benefit that is a massive giveaway to the pharmaceutical industry? Is it possible it was a mistake to base our entire civilization on a finite energy source, and not have a backup plan for when that runs out? And is it true that, even if all sources of man-made CO2 were to stop tomorrow, we'd still have an increasingly warmer planet for several centuries?

Come on, David. Of course it's going to be alright. Somehow.

Just sit back and relax.

P.S. I do actually think most young people assume Social Security will not be around for them. So yes, time to start saving now.
P.P.S. And I agree that it's a good article. David Walker was on 60 minutes a while back with essentially the same message.
