I agree, capitalism has slowly been replaced with statism for about a century. But, no, we need not be doomed to greater govt. spending forever; we can get back to our roots. We just need the right and courageous politicians who can explain how and convice people it is necessary to move quickly in that direction. It has to start with a true capitalist-based morality.

Capitalism?

With the Redskins playing the Monday night game and the National's still not having made a deal with their 1st baseman, Adam LaRoche, there's not much to think about here in Our Nation's Capital other than that pesky fiscal cliff.

Depending on what comes up in your Google search for "What will be the effect on GDP of the fiscal cliff" you get answers ranging from a drop of about 1.4 percent (NASDAQ) up to four percent (Washington Post).

Most of the guesses fall in the 3 - 3.5 percent range.

No matter how much the economy...
