Only Government Could Do This To Us

It may not be a Brave New World. But I can guarantee you, folks, it's going to be an expensive one. Time will tell how expensive - to our wallets and to the free-enterprise system.

The ancient Chinese saying, "May you live in interesting times," wasn't meant to be a blessing. No, I'm told that it was always intended as a curse.

To call the past two weeks "interesting" would be the understatement of the decade. Whether in the markets, in Washington, or in politics, I can't remember a time when we've experienced so many startling reversals and unexpected shocks.

The government has abandoned any pretense to constitutional restraint and is making it up as it goes along.
