I dunno.. the parts about 'customer service', food packaging down-sizing, and pharmacy shortages were pure CFB!* 
The article is couched in extremist terms, but when you have the Bush dynasty itself promoting "a New World Order" and the "Project for a New American Century" and you look at where this has actually brought us, what our costs have been and will be... well, that, too, is extreme.
Don't forget Enron and the induced power shortages in CA.. then Bush at Lay's funeral, where Kenny Boy was compared to MLK and JESUS CHRIST, for f**'s sake.
I used to think the US was a 'normal' place... not any more.

"He just f---s California," says one Enron employee. "He steals money from California to the tune of about a million."
"Will you rephrase that?" asks a second employee.
"OK, he, um, he arbitrages the California market to the tune of a million bucks or two a day," replies the first.

...traders deliberately drove up prices by ordering power plants shut down.
"If you took down the steamer, how long would it take to get it back up?" an Enron worker is heard saying.
"Oh, it's not something you want to just be turning on and off every hour. Let's put it that way," another says.
"Well, why don't you just go ahead and shut her down."

Before the 2000 election, Enron employees pondered the possibilities of a Bush win.
"It'd be great. I'd love to see Ken Lay Secretary of Energy," says one Enron worker.

If you think 3rd World means living in grass huts.. no. If you think it means having a pluto-kleptocracy similar to that of, say, Nigeria, yep, I'd say we're already well on the way there.
