    A New Jobs Program?

    Read Tao's posts, and Doh's, and AAA's. You'll be able to compile a list of talking points in a matter of hours. P.S. They all like to laugh, which gives the impression that being rightwing loonies is one big gut-busting experience after another. Not a bad way of live if one can avoid...

    Arguments Against Raising Minimum Wage Don't Hold up

    That's part of it. He was more against labor leaders than he was against labor. In fact he doubled the hourly wage (due in part for selfish reasons: he wanted his workers to be able to afford his cars). He also reduced the workweek and gave his workers a day off. This is not to suggest that...
