It is hard to imagine, without the arrival of locusts, a city having a worse year. The economy is in a tailspin, the former mayor is in jail and the auto executives are a punch line because they went to Congress to plead poverty and arrived aboard separate private jets.

Thanks to Pelosi, eco-terrorists, tree huggers, and the chardonnay and brie crowd, Detroit's in the middle of a renaissance--nursing homes, casinos and topless bars, not to mention the CPUSA who may be fielding a candidate for mayor for the first time since the Great Depression

Something big is happening. What started out as a series of pragmatic ad hoc responses by governments and central banks is moving the boundary between state and market. Politicians are now overlaying expediency with ideology. Government is no longer a term of abuse.
Things could move still faster in the months ahead. With their myriad rescue schemes and loan guarantees, the US and British governments have nationalised their respective banking systems in all but name. The banks pretend they are still answerable to their shareholders, but it is a charade. They survive only with the explicit financial guarantee of the state.

Almost certainly, they’ll test the strength of a president brimming with confidence and with a self-described mandate
