Making America All It Can Be

OP-ED COLUMNIST: Too Many Hamburgers?

"Studying China’s ability to invest for the future doesn’t make me feel we have thewrong system. It makes me feel that we are abusing ourright system. There is absolutely no reason our democracy should not be able to generate the kind of focus, legitimacy, unity and stick-to-it-iveness to do big things — democratically — that China does autocratically. We’ve done it before. But we’re not doing it now because too many of our poll-driven, toxically partisan, cable-TV-addicted, money-corrupted political class are more interested in what keeps them in power than what would again make America powerful, more interested in defeating each other than saving the country."- Friedman
