Share the View -- Bloomberg View

A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for May 30, 2012

PETER ORSZAG: The “cap-and-punt approach” to deficits, evident in Paul
Ryan's budget plan, is unlikely to reduce the U.S. deficit
significantly. Instead of caps on overall spending, “the coming debate
should focus on substantial expansion of stimulus, via automatic
stabilizers, with specific and credible, but delayed, deficit
reduction.” [Link]

JOHN O’BRENNAN: If Ireland votes "No" on the referendum to ratify
Europe's new fiscal treaty, "it's highly unlikely that the euro-area
governments, or the European Central Bank, would punish Ireland for
rejecting the treaty by cutting off its lifeline. Doing so would amount
to collective suicide." [Link]

MARGARET CARLSON: Mitt Romney's campaign resume has a glaring omission
-- his time spent as governor of Massachusetts, which "makes people
wonder what else he is hiding." [Link]

WILLIAM PESEK: “Who knew a modern-day Adolf Hitler was running Osaka?”
Mayor Toru Hashimoto’s “drive for greater accountability, decentralized
decision making and fresh ideas is as well-timed as it is frightening
to the establishment.” [Link]

CLIVE CROOK: Whether or not Greece keeps the euro, "Europe needs to
drop its blithe commitment to 'ever closer union' and adopt a more
discriminating approach . . . union where necessary, national
sovereignty where possible." [Link]

LUIGI ZINGALES: The financial system has become “too concentrated and
too powerful” in the last decade.The first excerpt from “A Capitalism
for the People: Recapturing the Lost Genius of American Prosperity"
shows how the banks gained political influence through deregulation,
consolidation and the rise of "too big to fail." [Link]

EDWARD GLAESER: While the slight rise in the figures used in the
Case-Shiller Housing Index isn't a sign of a housing comeback, "there
is plenty to like in low and stable housing prices, and that’s what we
should now expect in a world free from bubbly delusions of constant
price appreciation." [Link]

THE EDITORS: "The U.S. invests heavily in the education of foreigners .
. . and then prohibits them from pursuing job opportunities, allowing
other nations to reap the benefits." Startup Act 2.0 could help the
U.S. keep those highly-skilled immigrants. [Link] And in Iran, THE
EDITORS write, the P5+1 negotiators face a dilemma: "Remove sanctions
too soon and the Iranians will go back to the holding pattern of the
past six years, as they continue to develop their nuclear program while
stringing talks out; set the bar for relief too high, and the Iranians
lose all incentive to cut a deal." [Link]
