Coming off the Marine Park Golf Course, I heard a foursome loudly swearing allegiance to Ron Paul and bitterly lamenting Obama's deficits. Marine Park is, of course, a municipal course. Furthermore, the city keeps hiring an inept private company to run it. NY State runs Bethpage, site of the US Open and a conspicuously nice set of courses. Even the simple courses at Sunken Meadow (more my speed) are in beautiful shape.
In a previous post, I mentioned Jack Welch's either gob-smackingly stupid, deluded, or insulting assertion that "government doesn't invent anything". I saw a CSpan rebroadcast of a panel in which British historian Niall Ferguson repeats (verbatim) this nugget of wrong-fail-dumb while arguing macro-economics with Bill Bradley, George Soros, Nouriel Roubini, and Krugman AND Wells. He then accused them (maybe not Bradley) of being commies (well if YOU want to go back to the Soviet model...)
