A core problem with government is that its managers believe that all reality will conform to their wishes if they issue the right orders, pass the right laws, and put the right people in charge.
Reality resists this simple-minded approach; witness the debacle of the war on terror. Sadly, the same group that has managed that war is now managing another one: the war on recession.
These people ought to be given a video-game console to play with. The stakes are too high to permit them to play their games using real wealth and real lives.

The usual interesting, insightful article – but this time bonus points for the title.
Clever title.
