Fareed Zacharias: Are Our Best Days Behind Us?
No, this article is not as despairing as the title indicates. Once again, Zacharias reminds me of why I have sort of a crush on him. :)

1. PA governor Corbett cuts funding to state universities by more than 50%.
De-funding education is a death knell for America.

4. Yes they are
Before today, I was always optimistic about America no matter what happened. But now I am not.

5. The "best" days (depending on your definition of best) of this version of America are past.....

...... and I suspect there will be a long bleak period, akin to post WWII Europe, but hopefully the result will be something fairer, more commons-based and sustainable.
