It's Always Day One III

clipped from hotair.com The ideas of the Left are both ineffective and immoral. They are not strictly economic proposals. Economics affect society, an idea the Left currently understands much better than the Right. When the State achieves the massive size of our federal government – and has cocooned itself in preparation for the metamorphosis into something incalculably larger – the difference between fiscal and social policy evaporates. What is the point of claiming to be “fiscally conservative and socially liberal” when the State controls so much of your life, and asserts first claim on so much of your income… which is another way of saying it has first claim on the majority of your time? I have always thought the embrace of liberty is the key ingredient to achieving the essential fusion between social and fiscal conservatism.
