Fearing the future won’t be better is nothing new, perhaps the size of the National Debt and the looming insolvencies of major states
like California, New Jersey and New York are the new ingredients.
Can’t imagine the national mood was any better after the images of the last helicopter out of the Saigon embassy, or the debacle at Desert One, or the rapid doubling of gasoline prices after the Oil Embargo, or the stagflation of the Ford-Carter years or the
popularity of disco (man, the 70s really sucked, didn’t they?).
Ms. Noonan’s apparent disconnect may have everything to do with wanting to stay “relevant” (i.e. quotable, in-print and invitable to
parties and NewsHour roundtables)–calling out her own class is not the way to do that.
