All week the word I kept thinking of was "braced." America is braced, like people who are going fast and see a crash ahead. They know huge and historic challenges are here. They're not confident they can or will be met. Our most productive citizens are our most sophisticated, and our most sophisticated have the least faith in the ability of our institutions to face the future and get us through whole. They have the least faith because they work in them.
Peggy Noonan thinks faith is going to be important in the weeks and months ahead. Well, I say believe in yourself but not a whit in your government and you have a good chance of survival.
