“Because, at least for the economy, doing nothing is, apparently, the answer.”
That is indeed the real answer. Politicians should normally stay out of the way and let the free market resolve any difficulties. We need more bankruptcies and reorganization of existing troubled companies. The idea “that our elected officials have got to do something” has usually caused far more harm than good.
Barack Obama’s choice of Eric Holder for the head of the U.S. Justice Department is most disturbing. It signals that black people will continue to break the law and not worry about being punished. Does anyone, for instance, believe that white Republicans counterparts to ACORN would not have already been arrested? When will Barack Obama’s presidential campaign be investigated for credit card abuses?
