Whenever I begin to wallow in the shame and embarrassment of being American, which is to say, a morally bankrupt nation, I pull myself out by thinking of the Marshall Plan. I don't think of it as altruistic or having 'saved' western Europe but of boosting the domestic economy and European recovery as well as hedging against communism (win, win, win). But was the Marshall Plan all that? Here's the piñata- whack it if you will!
When I was down, you just stood there grinning.
