Yogi Berra may well be the greatest American pholospher. The title of this post is one of his infamous quotes. If you think it has no relevance, I suggest you look at this article from Fortune Magazine. President Obama was famous for talking about those tired old policies that have been proven not to work during the campaign (which, if you look at Bush vs. Obama on domestic fiscal policy the difference is Bush was 8 on the blender speed and Obama is 10). Well, if you're going to look at tired old policies, look no further than President Obama's. He's following FDR's playbook (as well as Saul Alinsky's) like a bible. Yogi, born in 1925, probably is having flashbacks. Never forget: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work" - Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury under Franklin Delano Roosevelt (May 9, 1939, appearance before House Ways and Means Committee).
