Quote of the Day

Heck, this could be the quote of the month and year:

"There is an emerging hierarchy in the world economy in which the best-paid jobs are clustered in certain nations. If America wants to be a sustainably rich nation with well-paid workers, we must explicitly compete for these jobs.

"This cannot possibbly be a matter of laissez-faire indifference in any society. The fundamental problem with laissez-faire is that it doesn't care who wins.

"And it is impossible to be too blunt about the fact that $5/hr. workers at McDonalds are not going to vote Republican. If we want a conservative society, we need to make sure we have the kind of economic base that will produce Republican voters. End of story."

-Robert Locke

Man, that's so right on.
