One of the reasons, I believe, that so many […]

Obama Lies About Unemployment

Just flat-out makes up “facts” during a town-hall meeting on the economy in D.C. hosted by CBS News: “The reason the unemployment rate is still as high as it is, in part, is because there have been huge layoffs of government workers at the federal level, at the state level, at the local level . […]

Of Straw Men, Politics and Policy

Here is (limited) praise of the use of “straw men” in discourse and, guest-blogging at Instapundit, Kenneth Anderson says, “I rather agree.” Stipulate that creating a tendentious characterization of an opposing argument for the sake of argument is nothing particularly objectionable.

So […]

Obama’s ‘Food Stamp Recovery’

The president’s government-oriented approach to economics is an obvious disaster as policy, but it’s also bound to be a political disaster for Obama: This has been the worst economic recovery in generations, at least as it is felt by the average American.  . . .
