Almost missed this one – One of my favorite columnists had an article over Christmas on one of my favorite topics. Here’s Robert Samuelson with “Our Entitlement Paralysis.” Samuelson also has an article in today’s WashPost called “Waiting for a soft landing” about how the economy should be “swell” in 2006, unless we’re hit by certain pitfalls such as the bankruptcy of General Motors or high(er) oil prices.
