Boo to Berman, who comes off like a typical neocon climate change Denier Harper flunkie.

Berman is a smart guy so it is disappointing to see him flogging the same old neocon horses of big bad government and too much taxation. Trickle down economics is the neocon shibboleth that is already dragging them down.

Rosenberg is at least honest. As he wrote recently: The american economy is roaring ahead these days despite excessive regulation. 

Lower standards of living and high unemployment in some sectors are precisely the result of Reaganite policies of shifting the tax burden to the middle class, and the structural changes, fostered by the neocons, of technological change and globalization. 

Cutting regulation and going back to coal will absolutely not prevent structural change and Berman knows that full well or if he doesn't he is incompetent. He should stick to the daily market brief.
