This week, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that they were going to reanimate a zombie deregulation plan from the pre-financial crisis Bush administration, that could tip the balance of power away from Main Street. Meanwhile, imagine a place where a liberal party could declare forthrightly that they were going to run temporary deficits to facilitate infrastructure upgrades, and have the entire country reward this radical honesty with a landslide vote. That nation is Canada, they've just had an election, and it took less than three months to boot! Finally, it's been a week of upheaval in American politics as Joe Biden opts to not run for President, and Paul Ryan offers to serve as the Speaker of the House, provided he gets some free stuff from the Federal Government first.
