I’m all for jobs but not for the tying of companies that can afford millions of dollars on lobbyists to fight any regulation that would have made them more competitive, but now crying poor mouth.

[Motor Trend Blog] California's Highway 1 vs the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe | Car News ...: It seemed like a brilliant idea at the time: instead of super-slabbing down ultra-boring Interstate 5 or the sort-of boring Route 101 on the way down from Napa Valley in my recently acquired CTS Coupe, I'd cut over to the coast once past San Jose via Highway 17 and then merrily head down the famous Pacific Coast Highway to catch some scenery while getting a better feel for the car. Sure, it would take about two to two-and-a-half hours longer than the more direct routes, but it'd be more fun.

[Walter Russell Mead's Blog] Marx Awakes as China Rises - Walter Russell Mead's Blog - The ...: Now it is clear that China faces a turning point.  Twenty years ago China was a relatively insignificant part of the global economy and it could grow by taking market share from less efficient producers.  But now it is a large enough presence in the world that it faces limits on growth: the world’s leading supplier cannot indefinitely faster than the demand for its products.  If the US is growing, long term, at about 3.5 percent a year, and the EU at about 2.0 percent, China cannot indefinitely grow at 10 percent as long as exports are its chief engine of growth.  Many of the disturbances in the world economy in the last three years are linked to the consequences of China’s rise and more generally the rise of export-oriented growth strategies in Asia and beyond.  The fall in blue collar real wages in the US and the crisis of the European social model are partly due to the enormous increase in the world’s supply of manufacturing labor in countries like China.  The cheap interest rates that contributed to the hothouse financial climate of the last decade were fueled by the accumulation of enormous foreign exchange reserves by exporters seeking to hold their currency values down (to keep their exports competitive). Domestically, an era of loose credit and rapid growth seems to have left China with a deeply flawed financial system in which a number of bubbles look increasingly likely to burst.
