Verdict on the G20

Oh, what a circus! Oh what a show! But after diverting London’s traffic, 85,000 police hours and a lot of our cash from more useful destinations, what good has come of the G20? Not a lot. For a start, they obviously couldn’t agree on a financial stimulus package. Thank goodness there is someone out there who figures, unlike Gordon Brown, that you can’t borrow your way out of debt. Or tax you[r] way out, for that matter...

We expected little of sense to come out of the G-20 summit, and it met our expectations with flying colors. When you don’t understand how the economy got into a mess, you are not likely to understand how it can get out. Politicians either can’t or won’t graps the key fact: ‘the free market’ did not cause our problems. How do we know this? It’s logic: the nonexistent cannot be the cause of anything. I’d like someone to show me this free market that brought on all the current turmoil. Please...
