Perfectly Articulated

Thomas Friedman, the author of The World is Flat, recently released an opinion piece in the New York Times, that perfectly sums up the political landscape in this country.

Here are the highlights:

The G.O.P. used to be the party of business.

Well, to compete and win in a globalized world, no one needs the burden of health insurance shifted from business to government more than American business.

No one needs immigration reform — so the world’s best brainpower can come here without restrictions — more than American business.

No one needs a push for clean-tech — the world’s next great global manufacturing industry — more than American business.

Yet the G.O.P. today resists national health care, immigration reform and wants to just drill, baby, drill.
