Share the View -- Bloomberg View

A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for June 7, 2012

MICHAEL KINSLEY: “The basic case against New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg's latest crusade, to outlaw the sale of extra-large sugared
soft drinks, is Libertarianism 101.” The case for the ban is in some
ways even more fundamental -- at least to me, his employee. [Link]

EZRA KLEIN: “The U.S. political system makes winning an election a
necessary but very insufficient qualification for governing." Unless
your name is Reagan or Roosevelt, your presidential mandate is probably
a myth. [Link]

SUSAN ANTILLA: The sex-discrimination lawsuit by Ellen Pao is a
familiar story “and the ending still stinks. . . . How is it that 20
years after Anita Hill broke the silence about gender discrimination
and harassment at work, there are still companies that can take a bow
for being gender-equality heroes when 75 percent of their leaders are
men?” [Link]

CAROLINE BAUM: “The idea that the U.S. economy might finally be able to
walk on its own got tripped up by anemic job growth of 69,000 in May.”
Why? [Link]

A. GARY SHILLING: “With their declining household-saving rate, Japanese
consumers are no longer both financing government deficits and
sustaining their nation's current-account surpluses.” The third excerpt
of “The Age of Deleveraging: Investment Strategies for a Decade of Slow
Growth and Deflation” explores the consequences of a Japanese
current-account deficit. [Link]

THE EDITORS: Congress shouldn't repeal the tax on the sale of medical
devices, a part of President Obama’s health reform law. “Just about
everything the medical-device industry says about the tax is either
untrue or exaggerated. Lawmakers shouldn't be so gullible, even when --
perhaps especially when -- industry lobbyists produce studies backing
their claims.” [Link] And in Europe, THE EDITORS write, EU leaders
should consider two new proposals – “a ‘banking union’ to shore up the
EU’s beleaguered financial system, and a ‘redemption pact’ to guarantee
the solvency of Europe’s debt-stressed governments.” [Link]
