The Welch Insight

There is an interesting piece by Jack and Suzy Welch in Business Week. They attempt to answer the question - Is Obama trying to do too much? The short answer is yes. They do a great job of pointing out that the problem with Obama's recent efforts at climate change, health care, and regulation is that it is all too fast and too easy. Having control of both the White House and Congress is a recipe for bad policy because big problems/issues get addressed but there is little debate. It is admirable that the President is willing to tackle these issues, but in the end if we do not leave time for debate and consideration the result will be mess that a future administration has to clean up. You should definitely read this article.
