And now, in the Oragne County Register, there is a wonderful addition to Strumpeter's idea. Kevin Hasset appears to have coined the term "creative destruction" to describe Obama's economic approach: " ...the obilteration of value and wealth without any resulting positive change.”
The corellary would be if, say, Theodore Roosevelt had "bailed-out" the buggy-whip industry.
From the perspective of history, we know that would've been a terrible idea. From the perspective of history, we will learn that Obama's bailing out of the banks, GM, Chrysler and whoever will also prove to have been a terrible idea.
Paul Krugman notwithstanding...
Are you implying he's a pimp?

I first came upon the term “creative destruction” in “The Age of Turbulence,” a 2007 book by Alan Greenspan. There. Greenspan attributes the "creative destruction" idea to Joseph Schumpeter while explaining that idea as follows: ”A market economy will incessantly revitalize itself from within by scrapping old and failing businesses and then reallocating resources to newer, more productive ones.”
