No one is a social Darwinist but to some on the left, the term refers to anyone who wants to increase government spending more slowly they would like.

Barack Obama, like other progressives, wishes to dispense with constitutional democracy and replace it with a civilian army, ordered by a great man with a great plan.

Some Questions About Government, Arnold Kling
january 2012 by ehanneken
Arnold Kling meditates on the flaws of large organizations, and wonders why government-enthusiasts believe their favorite institution is immune to them. At least large corporations are vulnerable to competition from new firms (unless a government prevents that).

Whose Money Is It? Not all wealth belongs to Washington
april 2011 by ehanneken
I'm not as sure as Bart Hinkle is that implementing Paul Ryan's plan would leave the rich with more money, and the poor with less. Medicare and Social Security are not means-tested, after all.

Notes for a Debate
january 2011 by ehanneken
I think Arnold's good and bad spirits are just metaphors for most people's tendency to overrate motives (greed vs. "concern for the public interest"), and underrate constraints and incentives.

Why Liberals Kill: The left may be pressuring President Obama to exit Afghanistan. But their heroes-from FDR to JFK-promoted U.S. involvement in more wars than all modern GOP presidents combined.

Not to let warmongering conservatives off the hook, but anti-war progressives should be honest with themselves about the actions of their heroes. Thaddeus Russell offers them a textual slap to the face.

In Letter, Health Insurers Back Regulations in Exchange for Individual Mandate
october 2009 by ehanneken
Health insurance companies are all in favor of the left's reform proposals, provided there is no public option and all Americans are forced to buy their products (the "individual mandate"). More evidence that big businesses are not enemies of big government.
