The problem is even if he loses his position he’ll probably be fine. He’s reached that lofty plane where you have to fuck up on a Michael Richards, Roseanne Barr, or Meeeeegyn Kelly level to face any real consequences. Mel Gibson even survived his flame-out, at least sort of. There will always be another job or a book deal, something when you get to that level. Rich assholes tend to look out for each other for some reason.

When reading Krugman, as much as he hated seeing the US economy become service based, service wages are higher than manufacturing wages. And the amount of time it would take to restore those jobs, if we actually want them, will be years in the making, thus being ineffective.
