Peggy Noonan opened her weekly column with a joke attributed to a TSA worker, “Ten years ago, Steve Jobs was alive, Bob Hope was alive, Johnny Cash was alive. Now we’re outta jobs, outta hope and outta cash.”

She opined that the reason Herman Cain appeals to so many people is that he is the only one advocating fundamental change. “…people have a sense that nothing’s going to get better unless something big is done, some fundamental change is made in our financial structures. It won’t be small-time rejiggering—a 5% cut in this tax, a 3% reduction in that program—that will get us out of this.” I believe this column contains a message that we all should give careful consideration.
