More Communist than China

Mr. Jim Rogers gives CNBC Europe the lowdown on the American economy... and wouldn't you know it, he's right. For once, a financial article with some toothiness (& truthiness).

But while Jimbo is right to give up hope on Obama or McCain's financial solutions, I was surprised not to see a nod to Sen. Paul whose influence could lead to a sensible policy debate on the right. I'll assume that Rogers didn't want his valued name associated with a man often denigrated as a kook.

Do read the original article, as you're not likely to see much news of this caliber.
