Pimps come in all sizes, shapes and colors. It's got to be right up there with the oldest professions, like lobbying.
There are pimps on the left, pimps on the right, pimps in the media, pimps everywhere. It almost sounds like something from a Tennyson poem and we the folks are the noble 600.
What the pimps on the left like economist Paul Krugman and his Twitter crowd don't seem to want to get is there's a lack of confidence owing to a disease all politicos seem to have, left, right or abstaining, the acute absence of fiscal responsibility. A cynic might argue any responsibility.
In musical terms it's a bad case of the economic blues not completely of our own doing. And what they all miss is, to paraphrase that famous St. Louis economist Chuck Berry, sooner most likely rather than later, Beethoven is about to roll over and give Tchaikovsky the news.
