I'm not a de-growther and I also think people are reasonably worried about structuring things in such a way that future expansion is assumed. Of course you can do it for a while, but it seems very possible we're coming up on the end of a while (or did 20 years ago, etc). I agree that our political undercurrents suggest an inchoate inability to actually change things. Stuffs all fucked up - for lack of a better way of putting it - and we don't know how to get into a sustainable situation. We've gotten by on growth for years because we could, and now we have to actually figure it out.
