Re: Andrew Klavan: Wall Street on Trial
I really enjoyed this. It brings home the fact that far too many of us are expecting the good graces of our fellow citizens to extend to supporting us in profligate lifestyles.
Contrast this with Obama's efforts at channeling TR today a couple of hours from here -- I felt a powerful disturbance in the Schwartz.
Perhaps the best part -- Klavan doesn't guarantee any prosperity or happiness or transformationally change-oriented metamorphic gobbledygook. You play by the rules, you work hard, and that's just better than stealing from your fellow citizens. The seas may still rise, the world will still be a difficult place, but at least we'll all be working for our own good and taking our own risks with our own money.
I am so sick of things being evaluated according to pie-in-the-sky extrapolations of completely ridiculous constructs like the "multiplier" effect or a "hockey-stick" chart.
I hope Mr. Klavan is back on the beat here at Ricochet and elsewhere for a while. I missed him very much while he finished his writing projects.

"Too big to fail" actually worked for the banks. But so far, Occupy Wall Street's "too obnoxious to fail..."--not so much.

Been too long since the last Klavan video. Nice to see he still has a keen eye for skewering absurdities!

Hahahaha, Charlie Brown is all grown up and kickin´ it hard.. This is precisely what we need. The frontline is a cultural one. We might need to invest more time and money in the cartooning, though.

Re: Andrew Klavan: Wall Street on Trial
Excellent approach to this. Thanks, Diane. I'm sending this Rico page to all my friends.
It's really funny how often government gets into things and ends up distorting them so badly that when things go wrong -- and they always do -- their only retort is to get more government involvement. The original sin is papered over all the time. And with the media that we have one cannot expect any finger pointing at the real culprit.

No, no. Obama bails out the banks, not corporations. He buys corporations. And then he gives them to the banks.
