Mark Miller at Reuters has an article, “The Top Six Myths About Medicare.” It’s a model of clear thought and clear writing. You should read it. That is all.
There’s a sort of constant, low-grade handwringing about the fact that the Chinese economy—which overtook Japan as the world’s second-largest economy a couple of years ago—is expected to surpass the US in maybe 2016. But really, that’s already happened. China is now, today, the world’s biggest economy. And has been for a while.

For those of you unlucky enough to miss it, it showed the NASA Personnel at the Jet Propulsion Lab following the lander’s progress. It was incredible. The tension as the people who’d put years of work into a daring project—throwing a complex, fragile, […] Economix just got its first review! A good one! From Bob Greenberger! This is a good day.
