Krauthammer on Obama's radical agenda

Charles Krauthammer is one of the best columnists in the business. And he hits the "change nail" on the head in his latest scribe:

The "day of reckoning" has arrived. And because "it is only by understanding how we arrived at this moment that we'll be able to lift ourselves out of this predicament," Obama has come to redeem us with his far-seeing program of universal, heavily nationalized health care; a cap-and-trade tax on energy; and a major federalization of education with universal access to college as the goal.

Amazing. As an explanation of our current economic difficulties, this is total fantasy. As a cure for rapidly growing joblessness, a massive destruction of wealth, a deepening worldwide recession, this is perhaps the greatest non sequitur ever foisted upon the American people.
It was a credit bubble, Krauthammer goes on to explain, not the unfulfilled liberal wish-list that got us into this mess.
