Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Just. Kill. Me. Now.

Roy Edroso found this gem over at the National Review on why teachers need their salaries and benefits cut:


Most importantly, teachers have important non-financial compensation — working with children in a universally admired profession, etc.
Something named Matthew Shaffer is responsible for that.

So, here's where we stand: Everyone hates bankers, so they get a ton of money.  Everyone loves teachers, so they should work for spare change and bus tokens.

Once again, fisted by the Invisible Hand of the Market!
