The Economy Is a Wild Animal

It’s your quote of the day from How to Fix Everything in America Forever: The Plan to Keep America Awesome. This one is from “Chapter Two: The Economy”:

The economy is a wild animal. When you put shackles on it, you break its spirit. I remember going to a zoo and seeing a majestic lion just lying there in its cage, a dead look in its eyes. And then the next day I saw in the obituaries that the lion had hanged itself. That’s what regulations do to the economy.

  1. I must admit, when I pictured your description of a proper POTUS, I couldn’t help but picture Fred Thompson. Man, he would be an awesome POTUS. (He’s also a good actor, so he could do an extra-awesome job of acting like a proper POTUS!)

  2. “If you’ve designed a government that requires smart, competent people to run it, you’ve designed a government that won’t work in the real world.”

    I’m cheating off of Glenn, of course, but it’s a great quote. It reminds me of another brilliant funny man who once said, “The system which depends upon the right man is a bad system.”
