Brandon Friedman @BFriedmanDC points out:
U.S. murder rates per 100,000 people in 2012 are totally psycho:
Detroit: 58.6 (google)
New Orleans: 52.2 (google)
Chicago: 18.6 (google)
BAGHDAD: 15.6
...
Physical murders are not the only thing totally psycho. According to Larry Summers and Barack Obama, we're "running out of fiat," and we REALLY CAN'T afford more/faster/better schooling, policing, regulating & job creation? What, indeed, is a lower class person's life worth to those two?
Is veteran Brandon implying that things might actually improve if we let Shias/Sunnis run Detroit, instead of Dems/GOP, and if we also outsourced management of New Orleans to the Kurds? You have to wonder if that logic would hold for the Fed, FEMA and Treasury too - not to mention the SEC, CFTC & DoJ, Congress & Administration. Did any Islamic banks go under since 2008?
Would Iraqis reinstate Glass-Steagall?
Which kinds of insurgents must we now counter? Those on Wall St, hoarding all the COIN? Or just the regular kind? Are we banking on accessory to murder?
