Short Take for Monday

I guess the automakers are going hat in hand to the government. It’s too bad that they can’t take out loans in the private sector. Gee, wouldn’t it have been great if someone thought to, I dunno, give billions of dollars to the big banks so that they would be freer to loan money in […]

Initial Thoughts on the McCain Suspension
