OK Tom Friedman. What a insightful perspective placing the focus where it belongs. Jr. and his talk about big government! I've always said deregulation is a license to steal. (look at history!) Between his trade tariffs,and this huge Homeland Security (designed to antagonize workers) and the decline in civil rights he looks like a totalitarian! Can you imagine the grief a non-Republican would have been given for these actions? I hope the voters and candidates are able to "get" this story.

Larry: Excellent article. British civil service and military discipline brought order to a lot of the countries in this world. We went one step further and created the best checks and balances system. Most of our government employees and middle class are honest, because of both the values we have and lack of opportunities to be otherwise. We have noway of stopping CEOs & professionals (CPAs, attorneys, etc.) from throwing their values away except by denying them excess powers. We did that to the President. Why not for this elite group? We need to create firewalls (for protection, not curtailing creativity) between management and boards. This is what Alfred Sloane had in mind when he established the modern Board of directors for GM.
