Perspective

We need more of it in America.



If America is wondering why much of the world thinks of us as greedy, spoiled, and self-centered, this might be it.

Paul Krugman could do with a little of this perspective.

Might help him distinguish between absolute poverty and relative affluence. And an economic slowdown and a Great Depression. And power and honesty.

We would all do better to make those distinctions, these days.
