I can't be bothered to get up off the couch right now to find this book so I can give you the actual title, but it was very interesting. The most important thing I gleaned from it:

The four words that have caused the most panic and financial loss are "this time it's different."

It's totally naive and self-destructive to think that one party created any particular mess. My wife says Republicans ruined chances for truly universal health care under Obama. I say Obama either knew he could not get it through the actual Congress, or he was too stupid to know it. Either way he should have tried something less aggressive.

See how that just sets up a see-saw that leads nowhere? Either side could jump in right now and have cogent things to say!
