What, me reform?

Friedman on American optimism (the column appeared the morning after election day, so it doesn't discuss the results); he's got a point, I think. Thanks for the heads-up, Ms. LabRat.

Here's the NYT take on the business community's wish list for the new House and Senate; lots of anti-consumer stuff like tort reform, more subsidies for insurance companies, and tighter bankruptcy laws. Since the consumers are the ultimate customers, why there's such antagonism towards them is beyond me; I always thought the final rule was "the customer is always right," even when he/she is an airhead. More evidence of potential foot-dragging toward reform appears likely; whatever happened to doing the right thing because it's the right thing?

How's this for employee loyalty? It's good chow, too!
