MSNBC’s current promotional campaign is an implicit endorsement of big government. Yet one of the campaign’s central illustrations would be vehemently opposed by MSNBC if were proposed today.
Members of the ruling class from both sides of the aisle, together with various media elites, are all over Rick Perry for his comments regarding Social Security. Their criticism of Perry is condescending in its assumption that the American people can’t handle the truth.
So now it’s the American Jobs Act and $400 billion in the form of money that we don’t have to be thrown at fixing roads and bridges and job training for the unemployed.
The countdown has begun toward President Obama’s much-anticipated “major policy statement” on jobs. If you watch it, keep a company called Solyndra in mind.
Regulatory capriciousness is putting a chill on business investment. It’s a huge reason that the economy is stuck. Yet Obama will never mention this fact in his Sept. 5 speech on jobs.

The station was owned by broadcasting pioneer Gordon McLendon. McLendon was known for his sharply-written editorials. Those editorials were, however, a one-way street. There was no practical way for the listener to respond.
