Big 3s problems added to Geithner and Summers' plate.

I'm very curious to see what will happen here. Will we see competence and pragmatism? Or political pandering that kicks the problem forward a few years?

I have an inferiority complex. But its not a very good one.

There's the rub for so many companies. We need to get serious about health care.

That we even consider giving anyone in the U.S. government the title of "czar" is beyond comprehension.


--------------------------------
"It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It [the Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect." --Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on a National Bank, 1791
