MARK STEYN GETS IT EXACTLY RIGHT
Mark Steyn provides a voice of reason and prudence on this financial crises. I believe he has it exactly right. Read his post here. What is required here is prudent, cautious action, not a spasmodic knee-jerk reaction.
To think the secret to solving this financial crisis is words of wisdom from Boy George.
“In his Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, Karl Marx proposed 10 measures to be implemented after the proletariat takes power, with the aim of centralizing all instruments of production in the hands of the state. Proposal Number Five was to bring about the ‘centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.’ If he were to rise from the dead today, Marx might be delighted to discover that most economists and financial commentators, including many who claim to favour the free market, agree with him.”
Do we need any other reason to oppose the bailout?

Joe:
Dunno if it’s true or not, coming from a reporter who’s just shy of doing her “journalism” in a cheerleader outfit with an “O!” on the front.
But if it’s true, Gingrich needs to be popped in the chops, and not for the first time. Time to go back to writing compelling alternate history, NLG.
