Spengler is doing an "I told you so..." in The Gumps of August. Reading Spengler can make you want to put a gun to your head. His world is one of only bad options. Always interesting, I'm not quite as impressed with Spengler as Spengler is impressed with Spengler. It seems to me that it doesn't take an Edgar Cayce to say that there are bad times ahead, and there's no way to test his thesis -- you can always say things are worse because of the choices not made...it's utterly untestable.

So here's a prediction: Bad times ahead, regardless of choices made. Bright future. Be strong, self-assured...just don't get cocky.
