Percentage of Americans Living in Poverty hits 52 year peak http://bit.ly/njqVAS

Michelle Bachmann keeps up attack on Rick Perry over HPV vaccine http://bit.ly/pFzxXe

Ok, this is really nutz.

The USA is in dreadful financial shape (blame whoever you like) and the GOP is debating ... a vaccine that prevents cancer ... on the grounds it's immoral?

Seriously, it's like Obama's people are running the Republican primaries.

You want Americans to be poor as part of your Marxist revolution. Forment the crisis. Throw in sexual deviance and you have won.

Crisis is inherent in the capitalist system. Even its supporters acknowledge 'boom and bust'. You cannot create the 'crisis'; it is naturally there.

Crises are inevitable and will be increasingly severe until the contradictions inherent in the mismatch between the mode of production and the development of productive forces reach the final point of failure, determined by the quality of their leadership, the development of the consciousness of the various social classes, and other "subjective factors".

Thus the degree of "tuning" necessary for intervention in otherwise "perfect" market mechanisms becomes more and more extreme as the time in which the capitalist order is a progressive factor in the development of productive forces recedes further and further into the past. But the subjective factors are the explanation for why purely objective factors such as the severity of a crisis, the rate of exploitation, etc. do not alone determine the revolutionary upsurge.

Oddly you both make my point. Economics - Marxist or otherwise - is what really matters to America today. And the GOP is ignoring economics for mishigas.
