Some Governors Are Getting It Right on Taxes Oftentimes in public policy, particularly when national politics is frozen, you have to look to governors and states to see what's coming. They can't run budget deficits, it's harder for them to run around squawking about stuff without doing much about it--basically, they've got to run stuff like education, protective services, infrastructure programs.

Our Crumbling Infrastructure: This Time, It's Personal To ignore needed public investments based on anti-spending ideology is to create an infrastructure deficit much more worrisome and damaging to the long-term economic well-being of this nation than the federal budget deficit.

Again With the Trickle Down!?! If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That's what came to mind this AM when I read that John McCain's plan to address the ailing economy includes a big cut in the capital gains tax rate, from 15% to 7.5% for the next two years. How wrongheaded is this? Let me count the ways.
