Words of Wisdom

" We know that in government bad ideas live forever. That's exactly why government should never act as an investor or a savior. Business sectors and economies don't grow if the laggards are given a lifelong lifeline. Lest we forget, Silicon Valley's wealth is not a function of all of its businesses succeeding. It thrives precisely because most of its start-ups fail."  

- John Tamny from "Who Needs the Fed?"
