National Review, about the pork-laden "stimulus" bill just passed by the House of Representatives over bipartisan opposition. The whole column is worth your time, I particularly liked this bit:
“In the long run, we are all dead,” Lord Keynes, the newly fashionable economist, famously said. But, if this bill passes, in the medium term, we’re all dead. It’s a massive expansion of the state in the same direction that has brought sclerosis to Europe.
And he concludes:
Big government is where nations go to die—not in Keynes’ “long run,” but sooner than you think.
Let your senators know they need to rein in the more egregious aspects of the House "stimulus" bill.
