Quote of the Day: Matthew Yglesias
The fact of the matter is just that running an economy is not the same as running a nationwide network of big box retailers, or a diversified conglomerate, or a large bank, or an innovative electronics company, or any other successful business. People generally understand this in reverse. Nobody ever said "Bill Clinton was a good president, so he'd be a great replacement for Bill Gates when he steps down at Microsoft." But it's true the other way 'round as well.
