Maybe the New Democrats Are Not Different
I have previously stated that I think the change of control in Congress is not a bad thing, but in some ways actually good. This is because many of the new Dems appeared throughout the campaign to be as conservative, and sometimes more so, than their Republican opponents. I must hope Senator-Elect Jim Webb's Wall Street Journal op-ed today does not reflect the consensus opinion of the newbies.
His ideas for wealth redistribution are flawed and will have the ultimate effect of strangling the economy through tax increases and economic protectionism and isolationism. These are proven and obvious to restrict economic growth. Let's all hope the rest of the new guys aren't as nearsighted and economically ignorant.

Glad to see you're still blogging. Any new sitings on any other bloggers' published works...or any other publications for that matter, Mr. DeJarnette?
Unfortunately not that I have seen
