“What is “going Galt” mean?”

John Galt is the copper-haired, white-boy protagonist in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. Galt leads a revolutionary movement in which all the top leaders of the banks and corporations forsake their corporate jets and perks to work in diners or as subway repair guys. No they weren’t fired by Galt. Rather, Galt urged them to go on strike and withdraw their expertise from an increasingly socialist world. Deprived of the genius of their genius, the world economy collapses.

So what you're saying is that we're doing exactly as Obama is doing....bringing down the world economy. How the hekk did we get on the same side! Putin has to be laughing all the way to the World Bank...and Congress has yet to pass ANY bill that someone has actually READ! gotta sleep on this'n.
