So it is difficult to see why there is little or no outcry about this
Hmm, that shouldn't be too hard.
Let's see, to whose benefit would it be to keep this country deep in debt? Why, the banks who loan the money, of course! And who ends up getting that money? The bank shareholders! And who are they? All the shadowy, rich, influential people you can imagine.
It's a hell of a racket, funnelling your tax dollars into their pockets. The only tricky part is keeping people from totally losing faith in the system. Fortunately, that goes hand in hand with keeping a low profile about the size of the debt and the whole racket in the first place, and we are talking about people with *serious* money here...
Pathetic: people who won't take responsibility for their own education. Don't you know that no one can ever teach you? Only you can teach yourself. The opportunity is there, even in the American public school system.
Congratulations! For your egregious misuse of the English language, you have been awarded a visit by the grammar police. Herein are detailed some, but not necessarily all, of your infractions.
It's summAry, not "summery"
corpOrations
benEfits
tomOrrow's
wants not "want's"
weApons
Sure (no "h")
sCenario
metEor
"ding"? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was just a typo (along with many others).
these sorts of things progresses -- hmm, subject-verb agreement, anyone?
I found this statement ironic:...the cost of keeping the world ignorant is just too high a price to pay. Your inability to think through consequences and express yourself in literate English is a telling example.
Gah! A mistake here and there is all right, but I'm seeing this over and over on this page. Did you people flunk fourth grade? The word is PERSISTENT, people!
I'm really impressed with the grammar in these comments. Not a stray apostrophe in the lot, until I got down to here. Amazing, compared to the Katz article I read the other day. Perhaps technical content attracts technically correct people?
Anyway, it's not one's, it's ones. Please do better next time.

No need for that, since you seem perfectly willing to post them yourself. Try your and embarrassing.

You mean "its head" I believe.
