Again I have to agree with Paul Krugman's editorial today that Senator Marco Rubio's reply to the State of the Union Address appears to have been scripted by the GOP dead heads in charge. Marco is interesting because he is intelligent and nuanced. Unfortunately the powers that be dumbed him down.
BTW Paul, I resent your mention of Cato Institute as a bullet point favoring your argument against the free market. It puts you in the same unthinking zero nuanced camp that you are attacking in your editorial. An Adam Smith Wealth of Nations style free market requires many intelligent players for the benefit to society derived by the invisible hand to come about. The housing bubble developed becasue of greedy, ergo stupid as in pigs get slaughtered, and concentrated banking and non banking institutions so that I don't see a repudiation of free markets here.
