Indeed, though eliminating deficits might seem wise, it could actually be fatal to future prosperity. China is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on infrastructure, while America can hardly repair its bridges.

...Obama is a failure as President because he went into the job without sufficient executive and private-sector experience and because he is a liberal at heart. And, while Romney so far has made many of the right moves in setting himself up for 2012, there remains among Republican wise men and women the nagging feeling that neither Romney nor any of the most conspicuous crop of candidates has what it takes to challenge Obama, no matter how weakened the President...
