Another Galt sighting...

For a book I've been told since college no one takes seriously, there sure seem to be a lot of smart people taking its lessons seriously and writing about it. Dr. Melissa Clouthier is the latest to write about the phenomon:

Before I finish this, I’d like to address motive. Is President in over his head or mendaciously driving the country to failure so he can be free to rebuild a Utopia in his image? President Obama’s amateurish foreign policy would seem to indicate the former, but I think it’s both.

President Obama is the ultimate theorist and professor. He’s going to “teach” the silly students the way things ought to be and if they have to learn tough lessons, so be it. He seems utterly unconcerned about real-world results.

What is particularly fascinating to me is how quickly the phenomenon has happened. I say fascinating, though I don't mean surprising. The economic wheels are slowing exponentially, and more and more examples of small businesses - the bulk of the nation's employers - are cutting back on employees and trying to figure out how to make only a certain amount of money. Some times, it really sucks to be right.
