Re: An interesting add-on (none / 0)

but if "not increasing taxes on the rich is unsustainable", then the WSJ makes itself look ridiculous, even by its own measures, by promoting as economic virtue policies that cause long term harm simply to satisfy short term greed.

If taxes have to be raised, then it's better to get started now than carry on and making things worse later on. To suggest otherwise is irresponsible, even Murdoch must realise that.

well (none / 0)

note that this is not in the Op-Ed pages. The paper has always been more reality-based than its opinion pages - the two teams are completely separate, in fact.

But who cares bout tomorrow?

Re: well (none / 1)

FYI I passed on the Russia/Ukraine diary to a freelance business journalist who will get to work on her contacts after Wednesday. I corrected the obvious mistakes, but it will have to be translated anyway. She writes pieces for most of the main Finnish business papers. Can you email your byeline info to me, just in case?

No, that's good - I'll let you know if they ask for more.
