In my latest National Post column I say we’re back in the deficit handbasket despite economic theory and the painful experience of the past half century because we’re being bribed.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I condemn the Liberals for promising us the moon on health care and climate without explaining how they’ll lasso it and haul it down or why, if they know how to perform such lovely miracles, they didn’t do either at any point during their past four years in power.
“man’s capacity for love is severely limited by his imperfect nature. Far better, then, to economize on love, to reserve our dependence on it to those relationships where even our imperfect natures are capable of sustained action based on love. Far better, then, to build our economic system on largely impersonal relationships and on man’s self-interest – a motive power with which he is generously supplied.”
