Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

It seems to be OK on US politics to say "Washington is broken", but not "Wall Street is broken".  I tend to see Politics and economics as two almost entirely separate games.  The US Presidential election is about winning he political one.  Then you have to say "all bets are off" on the economics game and start an entirely new game.  Do any of the candidates have the alacrity and ability to do this?
