OP-ED: Pennsylvania is For Globalization Optimists, By David Ignatius, Real Clear Politics

Very nice, long-thinking piece by Ignatius. This is why we're so good: 50 experiments constantly running, seeing who can produce the best outcomes. The odds against most states are thus 50-to-1 in our favor.

That's why we're so competitive over the long haul, despite our constant tinkering--sometimes quite dangerously.
