Canada's banking system is really solid, too. I think America would do well to emulate both of those Canadian systems. What I don't know is how to make that happen given the money and power behind the insurance "industry" and the financial "industry" in America. We could also use some lessons in campaign reform and environmental regulation.
I like Jon Stewart, too, and I think he's a bright guy, but he has some extreme biases. I also enjoy Rachel Maddow. For contrast, I like to read The Economist. I used to like The Wall Street Journal but I don't care for what has happened to it since Rupert Murdoch took over.
