Three out of three economists agree: we're in the shit. So why is this not being dealt with? That's easy enough. Leaving economic policy in the hands of a politician is like giving crack-laced candy and a bazooka to a five year old. They can't handle it, they don't know what to do with it, but they're so hyped up with an IDEA!!! that they destroy a lot of shit anyhow.

Unfortunately if they want to make any changes other than the economy, the Dems have to placate the electorate for the next two years - doing things only behind the scenes to lay the ground-work for a subsequent 4-year sprint in which they'd better actually fix things or they'll end up handing the barely standing economy back to the Reps for an ass raping.

Having economists in charge of the economy has a very Communist ring to it. You know, "from each according to their means, to each according to their needs"? Crazy talk!

Revolutionary! Next I'll probably be talking about how doctors should be in charge of making medical decisions and mechanics should decide how best to fix cars or something.

*This* is exactly what was feared when women started getting educations and the right to vote. You should stick to cleaning up the kitchen instead of the country. :)
