What the country really needs now, more than ever, is coming together to solve problems and less hyperbole, or convenient political rhetoric.

There is no central planning in the US. There is nothing even close to central planning. Our politicians cannot agree on anything - the political parties are almost as divided as they've ever been - and we are only beginning to see the effects of that. How is this central planning? The examples the author gives at the very end of the article (the main article on globalgorillas), is the result of the free market at work. The political situation we were in in 2008 and we are in today, is the response to that. That's democracy and, as gut wrenching as it seems right now, it will eventually work itself out.
