It’s 3 A.M. and You Must Read This!

Rarely do I promote someone else’s column but this is one time I will.  His column starts with this paragraph.

 

“It’s 3 a.m., a few months into 2009, and the phone in the White House rings. Several big hedge funds are about to fail, says the voice on the line, and there’s likely to be chaos when the market opens. Whom do you trust to take that call?

 

Those are the words of Paul Krugman’s latest column.  It you don’t want to read it all he ends the column with these words.

 

“The modern economy, it turns out, is a dangerous place — and it’s not the kind of danger you can deal with by talking tough and denouncing evildoers. Does Mr. McCain have the judgment and temperament to deal with that part of the job he seeks?”

 

Hold your nose if you must.  The nominees for president aren’t the ones I would have made but the deed is done.  Now we must choose.
