I listened to Senator Kennedy from Louisiana on the radio this morning. He talked about the Fed keeping this big old economy chugging along with spit and duct tape.
This stuff is dangerous. We have to get going. No one liked the analogy of accepting a certain amount of traffic fatalities as a price to pay, but it’s a good one, after all.
Government has taken a lot of steps to limit traffic fatalities. Red lights, speed limits, seat belts, bumper design, air bags, brake design, road design, road signage, motorcycle helmets, etc.
Some of them like speed limits, seat belts and helmets there was even an outcry about loss of freedom.
