Please SuperHank, Help Us!

Man, I really hate to be prophetic...not two days ago I say:

"The number one risk to the current economic expansion is bad policy. Not oil, not housing, not that MSM hobgoblin known as the trade deficit. The big thing that will screw up the health of the economy and our steadily increasing standard of living is a boneheaded, interventionist move by our politicians. It is great to have a man of Paulson's stature actively preempting such a development."

Then I read this:

"Two Democratic senators, Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, have proposed that any company wishing to import goods into America would need a government-issued certificate. The senators, according to this New York Times article (link requires subscription), view this as a “market-based system to cut the trade deficit to zero within 10 years.”

Quick. Light the beacon. Sound the siren. We need SuperHank.
