McCain's Economic Surge won't work
The only thing worse than socialists proposing socialism is when so-called conservatives do it. Here is National Review's editorial against John McCain's Economic Surge.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;

4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
The least McCain could do would be to credit Hillary Clinton for lifting her bad plan nearly word for word. He wants her voters, right?
ReplyDeleteNational Review should talk. Look through the Corner sometime and count the number of writers on their staff who were in favor of the bailout. This would have never happened back in the day when their masthead included actual Austrian School economists. This is not your father's National Review. I dropped my thirty-five year subscription last year; from most of what I continue reading on NR Online, it can stay dropped.
ReplyDeleteYou either believe in economic freedom, or you don't. We have found out this past month that Republicans don't believe in it, and, even worse, most of the self-styled conservative journals of opinion don't either.
George W. Bush was a Trojan horse. Pure and simple. Intellectual journals have a duty to stay pure to their ideals, but many conservative journals began thinking it was more important to support the Republican president than to consistently defend the ideals that made America great. Shame on them.
