Shall We Trade Some Freedoms for Some Security?

Commentary by Roger Erickson

The following transcends currency, criminology & policy, and brings 'em all together, just like we did back around 1776 - and several times since. Time to reconnect required dots ... once again? The physical institutions of DC may indeed become disjointed, obsolete enough to warrant closing them.* That does NOT mean we have to abandon democracy. On the contrary, it's just another reason to keep improving the quality, including tempo, of our distributed decision-making.

Placing Obama in the tradition of Franklin, Lincoln, Hoover and FDR - and coming up not just a dollar short, but a leader late.

* May they be preceded by the IMF and World Bank!

ps: Back to the same issue of outcomes vs rhetoric.
