I have to laugh about the circus going on in US these days. Martin Feldstein and Greg Mankiw has written articles/blogs against Obama's reform plans with arguments that are not holding water at all. For example Mankiw wrot that he don't trust the Government in Health care, but he do not mention that in the US more than 47 percent of the healthcare is paid by the government. Feldstein wrote about that he was worried about the medical innovation in the possibly proposed bill, but everyone know that the US version of medical patents combined with the administration directives just makes the medical costs many times bigger than in Canada. The big money is going to innovation of completely nonsense medicine. Both of these economists works on Harvard by the way. Unbelievable.
On top of that, Dodd seems to have build his entire carreer by money from Pharma!
