Making sense

Rand Paul responds informally to the SOTU.  It's crazy, he says, to send our money to central planners in Washington and hope they'll send it back in such a way as to create jobs.  It's not that the government is stupid, he observes--"though that's an open question"--but that it can't match the focused, close-up, personal performance of the original owner in picking winners and losers.

It's nice to watch a politician who's not afraid of basic free-market economics and knows how to expound them in plain English.

  1. Rand Paul is definitely the best of the Right within formal political parties. It's interesting that he comes out of a faction of the Republican party that it barely wants to acknowledge, just as I come out of a faction of the Democratic party that has been essentially disowned.
