Re: Son of Stimulus

Ez, your post on the Son of Stimulus makes the implicit point that government just cannot create jobs of any significance.

Your in good company (besides present company, of course). Read this article at Reason.com and this publication at Mercatus.org, as well as this Wall Street Journal opinion piece here.

On a related note, Economist Jagdish Bhagwati is tired of the tired, old anti-capitalist arguments within economics circles, and makes a grand rejoinder here. Would that his rejoinder could be both grand and final, but I suspect the corpse of anti-capitalism will rise like Zombies again. If you don't understand the metaphor just used, see film reenactments of real life Zombies here.
