Nice, thoughtful piece.

While gloating over America's financial decline, our president noted to his European audience that a new financial order is being created by the world's top 20 financial powers, not by "just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy....  But that's not the world we live in, and it shouldn't be the world that we live in." Whoever told our president that the post-World War II world came from these two great men "sitting in a room with a brandy" misinformed him. His knowledge of history is as defective as his knowledge of Roosevelt's and Churchill's tastes.

It's not even just their tastes -- Roosevelt wasn't even around for post-WWII. That's the sort of screw-up the MSM would be crucifying Sarah Palin for. Keep up the good work.

Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Wild on the Supply Side:

If tax cuts ultimately lead to robust economic activity and increased tax revenue collection, wouldn't it be possible to fund liberal social programs through these increased revenues, rather than through tax increases and class envy/warfare politics? Or is this just another example of voodoo economics?
