Reform

It strikes me as odd that both the incoming administration and the political elites have not taken bold stances in this dire time. Across the board I have been surprised at the fickle rhetoric of both the Obama Administration, the President-Elect himself, and Democrats on the Hill. 

Republicans may be consistently wrong about economic issues, but they are relentless in their pursuant of incorrect policies. Democrats would rather take a bad comprimise than a principled tough win, that just happens to be good policy as well. 

Much of this is difficult to discern considering that they have little power until next Tuesday, but it has been a trend the last few weeks. I look forward to a change in tone and principled positions next week.
