Government Like a Business

Anyone who wasn’t worried about the whole financial mess before Thursday night had to have gotten at least a little nervous after seeing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s face in this picture.
This was taken at the Capitol after a meeting that Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke held with congressional leaders, and Pelosi, D-Calif., looks like she’s in shock.
Paulson and Bernanke were apparently warning of a fiscal apocalypse that could only be averted by massive government intervention.
Which reminded me that when I first started covering politics in the mid-1980s, a lot of candidates in Oklahoma used to say that they wanted to see government run like a business.
Sounds a bit quaint now.
