"in substance, there is a striking similarity between social democracy and the most utopian socialism. Whether through piecemeal regulation or central planning, both systems share the conceit that modern societies are so legible that the causes of their problems yield easily to inspection. Social democracy rests on the premise that when something goes wrong, somebody — whether the voter, the legislator, or the specialist regulator — will know what to do about it. This is less ambitious than the premise that central planners will know what to do about everything all at once, but it is no different in principle." - Kostantinos Koukopoulos from Bookmarklet

PA democrats and republicans are fighting over how many billions to borrow. Where is the politician that fights NOT to borrow? "You look at the state of our economy, you need to give it an infusion to build confidence," said Philadelphia Rep. Dwight Evans, a key Democratic budget negotiator who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. Argh. - George Donnelly
