Much of this information, I was aware of....to a certain extent. I have often as of late, considered the plight of China, N. Korea, and other Asian regimes. And found myself wondering about the similarities between what is happening in the U.S. right now, and the suffering elsewhere. It would almost seem we are heading towards the same place, from different directions. China is struggling to gain a middle class, and we are watching ours be destroyed.
The "level" of suffering is most certainly far more extreme in the aformentioned areas, but the situations have many parralels.
