As our Dear Leader begins his term, the theory of very big government has the support of an alarmingly broad political consensus. Despite the obvious dangers—devastating inflation and the ruin of the dollar—the United States seems pledged to a debt-funded spending spree of gargantuan proportions. In opposing this trend, critics face the problem that the perils to which they point sound very theoretical and abstract. Perhaps Zimbabwe prints its currency in multi-trillion units, but that’s a singularly backward African dictatorship: the situation has nothing to do...

Was there an implicit mandate long hidden in our Constitution that sanctioned government redistributing benefits to one group at the expense of another? Even absent a Constitutional “penumbra”, was the need so dire and the disparity so obnoxious that the government should step in anyway?

That isn't any secret. Not even the unregenerate (unbelievers) will disagree with that.

Like a lot of Taibbi's stuff, there were some reaches in logic in rhetoric. Tim Fernholz of the liberal publication The American Prospect slammed the piece, saying it was filled with inaccuracies, calling it a "nightmare of a story."

Chesterfield and Hanover counties saw similar patterns the last school year.

Or economist Friedrich Hayek, who wrote in the 1940s that we'll become serfs if we move toward big government. However, what feels most prophetic lately is an obscure movie from the l970s called Little Murders.

The president promised to reach out to the opposition and hoped for 80 Senate votes for his stimulus bill. But he disregarded all Republican suggestions for the bill and acquiesced in its Pelosification into a groaning, creaking, Democratic gravy train.
