In commenting on the fact that President Obama in filling out his brackets for the NCAA tournament, picked UNC to win it all, Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski suggested that the President should be spending more time thinking about the economy than the tournament. The coach is quoted as saying,  “we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets.”

I beg to differ with Krzyzewski, my hope is that both the President and most of Congress start devoting more and more of their time to sports picks and less of their time to devising economic policies. The damage to our economy and our freedom will be much less if this began to happen.
