A couple of months ago I began my "Wisdom of Heinlein" series, and my first one was this:

“Most liberals believe that water runs downhill, but, praise God, it’ll never reach the bottom.”
From a very early Heinlein short story Solution Unsatisfactory.

Professor Bainbridge writes today about an Obama apparatchik who apparently believes, "You don't need banks and bondholders to make cars."
Bainbridge comments:

that official -- who's probably never run any business more complicated than a lemonade stand -- will soon discover just how wrong s/he was. It's called CAPITALism for a reason, after all... Like most bullies, the Obamabots seem unable to realize that their conduct may have long-term consequences.
What will they do when the water reaches the bottom?
