Becker-Posner discuss the British approach to their economic troubles and contrast it with ours.

Put some money in the National Republican Congressional Committee, apparently $50 more than Soros has donated to the Democrats this year. Also put a Bill White (D) for governor sign in the front yard; the Dallas Morning News editorial gives a good statement of reasons for White. I assume Soros hasn't given money to the Democrats because he sees them going toward excessive confrontation with the Chinese over the ren min bi (= "people's money" = Chinese currency) which could lead to an international finance catastrophe. I'm not sure what candidate signs Soros has in his yard.
