If you have the time.

This article by David Stockman is worth reading.

Whether you agree with him or not, he does offer a unique perspective...and pulls no punches.

Saw him on Moyers and Company, there he said our politics was taken over by corporations so much that we had neither Capitalism nor Democracy. Guess we should sell out now and head north.

Good read. The best part about all of it is that as long as they can keep the unknowing people doing the partisan blame it will continue. As long as the Oliphants and Asses keep refusing to work with each other, there will never, ever, be a look at doing anything about the situation.

I read some of it, definitely a Wall St. perspective. I can't get excited about pseudonym being used, but then I am just a common schmuck.
