The Quote of the Day comes from the Carnival of the Libertarians. The Whited Sepulchre posted my article entitled “A Simple Fix For The US Economy” in which I lay out a few absolutely brilliant ideas. These are ideas that anyone who can spell the word ‘economics’ would agree are absolutely brilliant.

Of course, The Whited Sepulchre points out the obvious flaw in my ideas.

“Doug has some great suggestions, none of which will ever see the light of day. Taking the long view, or doing nothing at all, would be highly effective, but doesn’t work well with politicians who need to deliver chest-thumping rhetoric every two years“

And there you have it. This is what changes an idea from absolutely brilliant to absolutely worthless. By the time a useless politician gets done telling his or her flock of sheep what my ideas will do to the little people, I will look like some evil, slave labor, send your jobs overseas, don’t pay more than 10 cents a year in taxes, WalMart CEO.
