Partisan bickering is not the solution for fostering economic growth

Prieur du Plessis (November 21st, 2009) Writes:

This post is a guest  contribution by Asha G. Bangalore * of The Northern Trust  Company

The main theme of the opinion piece by Representatives Hensarling and Ryan from Texas and Wisconsin, respectively, in today’s Wall Street Journal (Jeb Hensarling and Paul Ryan: Why No One Expects a Strong Recovery - WSJ.com) is poor economic policy choices of the current administration.
