America Should Declare Bankruptcy

[His Highness the Wise TibetanMonkey, the Most Humble Philosopher Alive]

(Drop the motorboat and get a kayak. That's lowering your
expectations)

We should admit our limitations and lower our expectations. I just
said today that I'm a roach, meaning I'm insignificant riding a bike
in a nation of consumers. Americans --once proud-- should also look at
themselves and say, "Gee, we are broke," and go on with life. Maybe
life will be more fun after bankruptcy.

“I think the U.S. government should default on the national debt,” he
says, pre-empting his statement with the admission that it may sound
outrageous and too radical. “I say that for several reasons. The most
important of them is if they don’t default on it, it’s going to make
the next several generations of Americans into effect indentured
servants, serfs, to pay off the debt that their parents and
grandparents have incurred.”

Whatever we do we should think of future generations in terms of debt,
climate change and war. As you may see I'm a roach with higher
expectations. Survival is not good enough.

But that's only my humble opinion.

Yes, I have magnifying glass and binoculars. I can investigate the
very small world and the very far world. The small world is often
amazing, perhaps more interesting than the very far. Now I got a pair
of binoculars that can focus as close as 4 feet, which means I can see
the insects and plants. The spider is perhaps the best insect to
associate with a used car salesman. You walk in there and you ain't
coming out without a big debt. Why the poor isn't happy riding a bike?
Well, that's where predatory capitalism kicks in. You feel threatened
and intimidated, and you can't afford to get hurt.

After I lowered my expectations though I don't ride far and wide. I
just stay in this mile long beach path observing the ocean and the
people. Let me tell you, many of them are funny. They are prosperous
but they are miserable. All they got is this fancy path as if that
would make them happy. But they are not happy. They can't be happy.

I've been struggling with my identity as an insect but I think I'm
quite happy being the most humble. I'm happy now, really happy.
