Chris Christie and Angie Merkel: Fiscal Heroes?

Politics is mostly posturing, so it is never good to count your chickens before they hatch, but I'm going out on a limb to make an early call declaring the emergence of two fiscal heroes, two leaders who are answering the need for true leadership in taking us towards fiscal sanity. Our emerging heroes? New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He is saying, the way out of NJ's mess is to slash spending and to resist raising taxes. She is saying that Greece ought to get its act together and not look to the German tax payer to subsidize its sclerotic corrupt socialist nonsense. It's early days, but these are the right stances. Let's hope these two can hold to it and be an example to current leaders as well as a whole new generation of leaders.
