The private vs public economies

“Barack Obama is explicitly seeking a mandate to make the public economy pre-eminent. That is the unmistakable meaning of ‘You didn’t build that.’ His opponent so far is talking about, but not seeking a mandate for, the [private] economy. One expects that in time Mitt Romney will seek a mandate equal to Mr. Obama’s.”

Mittens had better. If the elephants don’t at least take back the Senate and keep the House, our goose is cooked. Greece, here we come.

UPDATE:  In other words, considering how corrupt the federal government (i.e. the public economy) really is, the choice between Obozo and Mittens is between crony capitalism and genuine competition.
