About Those Barons of Commerce

You know, the Masters of the Universe who inhabit Wall Street, and the feckless idiots in Washington who let them get away with their shenanigans. The free market, down with unions, outsourcing kings. Harold Myerson has a very interesting article about Germany, and how its economy, in a nation with strong unions, government support for retaining jobs, and all sorts of socialistic stuff like that, is now the strongest in the world.

You have to wonder what our home-grown boy geniuses have been smoking. Hundred dollar bills?

And as a commentary on that, read Paul Krugman's blog.
