I found this IBD cartoon fascinating — because of the focus.
The visual is great, but the labels are all wrong in so many ways. A tiny row boat labelled Congress pursues the giant ship called free markets — as if they cannot do anything. (Repeal of Glass Steagall, CFMA, etc.).
And, the basic idea that the Free markets are a super tanker — I’m not sure I would have gone with that. The idea was great, but the execution seems to have gone awry . . .
