It says something about this financial crisis that it has me and William Kristol in agreement. I’ve used words in the past like “pin-head” and “moron” to describe him. But this morning’s column is a calm and sober assessment of crisis. There are serious questions to be asked about this bailout. Both in practical operational terms, and in the longer term.
While I recognize the need for immediate action, failing to think this through and craft a plan with some semblance of long-term thinking will only serve to hurt us a few years from now. So for once, William Kristol and I agree.
Guys and Gals, take a breath and think this one through,
