Washburn: Dole's Pixie Dust Solution Won't Work

I cannot improve on Mark Washburn in any way, shape or form. Please go read his column from earlier this week. It is a thing of beauty. Here's a snippet.

Sen. Elizabeth Dole failed us. Miserably.

Nothing personal. Dole is smart, elegant, honest, accomplished, principled and well-intentioned. She has an admirable record of public service. And so on.

But in this financial catastrophe, she chose a pixie-dust solution.

“To fix the markets,” Dole declared as the economy rumbled toward the brink, “we must deliver a market-based solution, not a government bailout.”

Follow me closely here.

It was the market-based mentality that got us in all this.

This piece is a must-read if you need a smile. Don't miss it.
