Washington’s Blog is insightful and well documented. It’s worth reading along with Zero Hedge, Fiat's Fire and The Big Picture. Today’s post from Washington starts with:
The blood pressure of the patient in the emergency room drops precipitously.
The ER docs have already given 15 pints of blood over the course of many hours. But the patient is still on the verge of dying.
Medical rules and regulations say that more than 15 pints of blood should never be given, as too much transfusion can cause other fatal problems.
The "liberal" doctors want to give the patient more blood. After all, this is a life-or-death emergency ... and if they can just buy more time, they might be able to figure out a way to save the patient.
The "conservative" doctors want to stop with the transfusions. After all, giving too much blood could kill the patient ... and maybe he'll be able to pull out of it on his own.
After all of the hoopla over the debt ceiling, read the rest of the post, and let me know what you think.
