Cashed up proles barreling through the exurbs in HUMMERS, shoddy stucco “master planned communities,” nu metal and Atlanta krunk rap dominating the airwaves, watered down “preppy” style like Abercrombie. And yet I have nostalgia for this hellscape.

You knew it was trouble when schoolteachers and secretaries were buying $1MM houses because their bankers said they could afford it just by taking out a home equity loan to pay off the balloon payment in a few years.

They don't have a "feel" for me. Like the 90s had a certain look and feel -- as did the 80s (70s, 60s, etc.). What is the look of the 2000s? The 90s had grunge, what did the 2000s have? Seems weird that we will get nostalgia for the 2000s

Bush signed the $1.35 trillion tax cut -- which includes soon-to-be-mailed rebate checks of up to $600 -- amid the kind of presidential pomp he usually disdains: a formal ceremony in the East Room, with a Marine band playing "Hail to the Chief."

There was a famous case in the 1900-1910's I think where there was a Great Depression style situation at risk of occuring - but the dude in charge of the finances in the country (Treasury secretary at that time?) decided to simply balance the budget, pay off the deficit and let everything sort itself out.

Deficit spending is really a recent fad if you think about it.

If we got our deficit paid off, taxes would be MUCH MUCH lower and create a virtuous cycle

george w. bush's first budget projected over $5 trillion in budgetary surpluses over the next 8 years, which were to be divided between tax relief, establishing a social security fund (al gore's "lockbox" idea, basically), and paying down around $2 trillion of what was then a $5.8 trillion national debt as bonds matured.

Those were my formative years. My main memories are:

(1) Liberals being completely unhinged about George W. Bush, calling him Hitler, being convinced that voting machines in Ohio were rigged, etc.

(2) A series of surprising teams winning the World Series - Diamondbacks, Angels, Marlins, Red Sox, White Sox

(3) Dirty South rap just DOMINATING the airwaves

(4) Hummers and big SUVs everywhere

(5) A million articles about how the "exurbs" were the future of America

I'm sure if I had been "working" in "underwriting" at the time, instead of being in high school and college, I'd have even crazier stories to tell

this was an ad that aired during the second bush administration for skinit.com. it has been mostly purged from the internet, but i managed to save a low-quality copy a while ago. i think this captures the mid-00's, pre-ITE "spirit" pretty well:

my vivid memory of this era is from, like, 2006, visiting my friend in his shitty low-tier 'gated community', and witnessing this fat shitboomer's yellow Hummer break down on the road next to one of the many under-construction mini-mcmansions. i think he was a developer or something, inspecting the site, and he ran out of gas.

but as he got out of his Hummer, he sprawled the door wide open and left his stereo on full-blast, and i could make out that it was some kind of Christian "How to be a Millionaire" positive-affirmation CD, just blaring, for the whole neighborhood to hear. i listened to it for 5 minutes, observing this fat shitboomer in Crocs, as he arranged for a tow-truck.

it synthesized so much of that era: Bush's 'Mega Church' capitalism, housing bubble, Chickenhawk militarism (yellow Hummer), easy money, shitbooming, blackberry.

lol, so sick. there are a lot of these 'documents' of the era.

it's eerie to look back on it. the 'mania' of that era seemed way more unhinged/disconnected from reality, relative to past economic boomtimes (80s,90s). people seemed like they were on meth. just not connected to reality.

it was a very GAKKED-OUT era. there is not a lot of good critical commentary yet about the monumental WEIRDNESS of that whole cultural era. it really was a bizarre collision of a bunch of ridiculous, inane, unsustainable trends. it feels like society was attempting to glue itself together as it frayed, but the outcome was grotesque. faux-patriotism. patriotism via consumption. faux religion. religion AS consumption. etc.

yes. that was the final schizophrenic disintegration of whatever remained of the stable/white/suburban America that had been propped up artificially for so long, running on fumes.

Trump is just a kind of ironic coda to the collapse.
