It might be useful to have Senators John McCain and Barack Obama in Washington this weekend to wrangle over the specifics of the proposed $700 billion federal bailout of Wall Street. But, truth be told, their return is not essential. Neither McCain nor Obama claims to be an economic expert. McCain, in particular, has openly confessed that “economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” and any contributions the two might...
