If you see the world in terms of Left & Right...

...you really aren’t seeing the world at all.

So sayeth The Big Picture's Barry Ritholtz

Here's a sampling:

For those of you who are stuck in the old Left/Right debate, you are missing the bigger picture. Consider this about the Bailouts: It was a right-winger who bailed out all of the big banks, Fannie Mae, and AIG in the first place; then his left winger successor continued to pour more money into the fire pit.

What difference did the Left/Right dynamic make? Almost none whatsoever.
