Predictions for 2009: Who Will Be the Winners and Losers?

Your article is really good and is such common sense. Sometimes common sense approaches take some time to show up but they usually eventually do. I agree about Rick and wish the rest of them thought more like him. But those young ladies are nice to look at!
Dana, you hit the nail on the head. Socialists want Top down planning and all citizens to follow the anointed ones' rules. Because they know what is best.
You can't cheat. Eventually you get caught. They guys who broke the already established rules are in jail. More rules and rules weaken our economy.
Want to get the economy growing? Cut income taxes dramatically. Or eliminate it. Remove layers of bureaucracy, and lay off millions of federal employees so they can produce something in the "private sector". But this will never happen as there are so many vested interests. From the workers themselves to accountants and lawyers, and so many who receive something from nothing.
