A great piece by Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg. I think this man is one of the country's greatest assets - i sure hope we find a way to empower him. He has, in my opinion, been a great mayor for new york city.

How bout we just outlaw earmarks first?

Unbelievable stupidity. As if the New Deal was a good thing? Thanks, smokeTNT. Isn't it disheartening to see such ignorance.

The irony is that over thast 20 to 30 years more nations have adopted free markets, free trade, less totalitarian domestic economic practices, decreased taxes ( much of the world embracing a low flat tax), and what does Bloomberg suggest? Do what has failed for everyone else, not what got them where they are.
