Tim Cavanaugh writes today in Reason on the inanity of
using partisanship
as a shield against reality, wherein a columnist, for example,
argues straight-faced against the “lie” that taxpayers fund public
pensions.
Lord. I’m not one to go around quoting Ayn Rand this early in
the day, but Cavanaugh’s column reminded me of the Objectivist’s
famous maxim, “We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the
consequences of evading reality.”
And if Wisconsin is any indication, there are a lot of people
organizing to make sure those consequences are as dire as
possible.

You can lie, cheat and steal your way to elections. Give away the store to the unions, but sooner or later you actually have to have the money to write the checks.
