The Middle Way

Eugene Robinson in the WaPo:

All Barack Obama wanted was to be president. He may have to become an auto executive, a banker, a mortgage broker and who knows what else before this crisis is done.

Lesson: one extreme of economic privatization and deregulation (Reaganomics and Neo-liberalism) leads by necessity to the other extreme, as stated above by the estimable Gene Robinson.

A warning to us to find the 'middle way' between the two extremes, as first recommended by the greatest philosopher ever, Aristotle, a few thousands years ago.
