Two things happened to Sandra Bullock this month. First, she won an Academy Award for best actress. Then came the news reports claiming that her husband is an adulterous jerk. So the philosophic question of the day is: Would you take that as a deal? Would you exchange a tremendous professional triumph for a severe personal blow?And he goes on to relate this to President Obama, with Obamacare of course being the professional triumph and his ruined presidency as the severe personal blow, proclaims lottery winners as more miserable than "hard workers" and ends with:
Governments keep initiating policies they think will produce prosperity, only to get sacked, time and again, from their spiritual blind side.My answer for Brooks is simple:
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of considering the method in which our economy was tanked in 2007 and 2008. The folks that "worked hard" and made billions collectively in bonuses wrecked our economy in the name of getting their share and made a great many of us miserable as a result. I'm more willing to believe that the government has a spiritual side and duty to provide than I do the Gordon Gekko "Greed is good!" profit margin uber alles attitude of the markets.
I mean honestly. It wasn't government that lost trillions down the subprime rathole, Bobo.

Government instead chose to lose it in Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
Those asshats cannot be trusted with money. Plain and simple.
