History will remember the UPA-II government for its numerous scandals, scams, and corruption, probably the maximum number ever.
There is a legitimate concern about wealth distribution in the United States, but the answer is not to scapegoat any individual who makes over $200,000 per year and to try to sell the fraud that the government can equitably take the money of those who have earned it and give it to those who haven't.
TARP became so politicized that having money from it was almost like a scarlet letter. There were debates over compensation, worry that the rules were going to get changed. All the banks were desperately rushing to get that money back as soon as possible - in part, so they could pay themselves bonuses without any government restrictions.
In government, you are pressed by the security agencies. They come to you with very good information, and they say, 'You need to do something.' So you do need the breath of scepticism, not cynicism, breathing on them.
The central issue of our time - of all times - is the size, power and scope of government.

Sectarian politics gets votes in Iraq. But sectarian government fails in Iraq.
Koch Industries is an amazing business that has succeeded by building a product that customers love dearly. The folks who run Koch are very clear.
