Bruce Skarin on Budget & Economy |
We simply do not need any more witch doctor ideologues who, instead of using an informed diagnosis, chant slogans trying to invoke the spirits of free markets, economic stimulus, & government rightsizing. Modern medicine is not simple, and neither is our economy.
Right now, we have an opportunity to set the country's direction for strong and sustainable growth over the next few decades. For the most part, our economy has indeed carried on in spite of the actions of government and powerful interests. After decades of charlatan medicine, now is precisely the time for an independent diagnosis.
As far as political positions go, Skarin sometimes sounds like a conventional liberal, and sometimes like a fiscal conservative. Combatting global climate change and the national debt are Mr. Skarin's top priorities.
