Liberals’ Non Sequitur Reasoning
Steven Pearlstein fires off another shot in the liberals’ war on decentralization and freedom. Evidently, the “services” sector of the economy does not develop as efficiently as the manufacturing sector, which may lead to relatively higher prices for services. Although he initially … Continue reading

Facts Don’t Matter
The editorial board of the Washington Post is very impressed with last Friday’s jobs report. According to the editors, the economy is “on the move” and Obama has “reason to crow” (as no doubt do the editors). The unemployment rate … Continue reading
More Liberal Thinking
We can always count on Ezra Klein, one of the Obama propagandists at the Washington Post, to give us great insights into the liberal mind whenever he writes (and not in a good way). In a recent column he argues that there are … Continue reading

Healthcare Efficiencies
According to Matthew Yglesias, Slate magazine’s central planning enthusiast, healthcare accounts for a large and increasing share of the overall labor force. He seems to suggest that increased efficiency in the healthcare sector (which he evidently expects as a result of the impending government takeover) could generate … Continue reading

The tactic is especially odd in this instance because, more than once, the writer essentially boasts about being a … Continue reading
Misogynist Enablers
Slate’s Fred Kaplan has weighed in, so it’s official: American efforts in Afghanistan were “doomed from the start,” and now it’s “over.” Okay, so now the Afghan misogynists can get back to their primary occupation of oppressing and enslaving women (the real … Continue reading

The Liberal Mind
Most people prefer to live in a society that creates the greatest prosperity for the greatest number of people. History, including the recent financial meltdown brought on by big government and firms “too big to fail,” proves that decentralized arrangements, based on … Continue reading

Obama’s Iranian Non-Policy
In a strained defense of Obama’s Iranian policy, David Ignatius (of the Washington Post) claims that the White House is puzzled by Israel’s “red line” demand. According to Ignatius, the United States “has already drawn a red line,” but he doesn’t bother to tell us what that red … Continue reading
Ezra Klein’s Dream
Ezra Klein’s new column illustrates what liberals dream about. In this instance, he dreams of the government imposing yet another tax on Americans (i.e., a carbon tax). Of course, this is one of Klein’s minor dreams; we already know that he primarily dreams about price controls and central planning … Continue reading
