This Week's Quote: "There is no reason to believe that bureaucrats and politicians, no matter how well meaning, are better at solving problems than people on the spot, who have the strongest incentive to get the solution right." —Elinor Ostrom
I love Maddow's statement about the reason the debate has people talking past each other. The reason is she keeps doing it.
I'm amazed that, so far, I haven't been attacked left and right about the Maddow segment, given how emotionally-attached some people are to the issue.
