Man, That Chris Hedges is Excitable

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Feb 20 2009, 9:47 AM ET Comment

Via Romenesko:

"Our way of life is over," Hedges began in a monotone. "Our profligate consumption is finished. Our empire is imploding. Our children will never have the standard of living we had, and poverty and despair will sweep across the landscape like a plague. This is the bleak future. There is nothing President Obama can do to stop it. It has been decades in the making. It cannot be undone with a trillion or two trillion dollars in bailout money. Our empire is dying. Our economy has collapsed."
