europe has an economics lesson for obama
Published Jul. 25, 2008I thought this was a very well written opinion piece out of the Wall Street Journal. Pretty much dead on of things I have been saying all together.
YOU CAN'T Tax Corporations to Death then complain that they are leaving. Eruope got that message a long time ago. So why haven't we learned from it? Many liberals want us to be like Europe, but why the exclusion of this lesson?
I really hope you'll take the time to read this opinion piece. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
No this piece isn't going to bash Obama. But he does mention one point that I think is the fear of most swing voters and independents. Obama touts "change change change, unify, come together". But once he's in office, will that really be the rally cry? Or will he go back to the super ultra left agenda he's been supporting up till now. But that is true of any politician. Not just Obama

Very ... The EU economy just about equals, and if I'm not mistaken recently eclipsed, the US economy. They've got their act together when it comes to fiscal policy.

"They have also come to the recognition that the task of center-left governments is to minimize the negative externalities of market action while using government to more equitably distribute the resulting economic gains."
This addresses what most centrists want from government, insomuch as it is capable of providing it. Obama, when the smoke clears, is more likely to embrace a centrist position than the ultra-liberal one so feared by the right.

This blog is not about that. It is about economics

I've seen so many people complain about high gas prices, high food prices, unemployement, outsourcing..... and there is a way to fix it. It's NOT the way the current crop of politicians would suggest. Europeans have figured it out... I see no reason we can't learn some things from them.
If they can take our process and make it better.... why wouldn't we want to learn from that?
