And, like all religions, it is a massive agglutination of stock response, of cliches, of inherited and unexamined formulations.

• As the United States continues its slow but steady recovery from the depths of the financial crisis, nobody actually wants a massive austerity package to shock the economy back into recession, and so the odds have always been high that the game of budgetary chicken will stop short of disaster. Looming past the cliff, however, is a deep chasm that poses a much greater challenge -- the retooling of the country's economy, society, and government necessary for the United States to perform effectively in the twenty-first century.

Coming on top of a massive income investment boom, it's all been just a bit too much of a good thing.

• In a democracy it is ultimately for us, the citizens, to judge where to place the balance between security and privacy, safety and liberty.

If those companies from which governments actually take most of our intimate details want to show that they are still on the side of the angels, they had better join this struggle for transparency too.
