More proof--as if it were needed--that Republicans are as illiterate as Demoncrats on economics, and especially so when there is a disaster of some sort.

They'll run for office as "a free-market conservative" and sign on to every anti-market, anti-freedom-of-contract regulation once in office. All that separates them from the Dems is they usually won't go along with the unions on matters of importance to organized labor, e.g., minimum wage increases, prevailing wage on federal contracts, right-to-work laws.

I know, an attorney general doesn't have to be expert on everything, and chances are if she took an econ course as an undergrad it was slanted toward the Keynesian school of tax-and-spend, which predominates among the scholarly elite. Her education didn't prepare her for hurricanes and (heaven forbid!) subsequent shortages of basic necessities like water, power, gasoline and toilet paper.

Ms. Bondi, if she truly wants to advance her political career, might want to brush up a bit on basic economics and try to set herself apart from Democrats who are totally inept in that area and plan to stay that way.

The same recommendation applies to a couple of southern governors who call themselves Republicans, BTW.
