A Green New Deal, Universal Basic Income, Medicare-For-All. Are these sounds ideas or economic illiteracy? Michael Boskin, the Hoover Institution’s Wohlford Family Senior Fellow and the Tully M. Friedman Professor of Economics at Stanford University, discusses what the Democratic hopefuls are offering – and the feasibility of President Trump’s interest in reducing the payroll tax and adjusting capital gains.

Very interesting. Especially enjoyed the economic illiteracy about the Green Nude Eel (hat tip to PowerLine) and just the enviroment in general. I keep hearing how wind, solar, etc are more efficient than before – but based on what? I would rather we concentrate on cleaning up the enviroment and husbanding the Amazon rain forest than worrying about carbon and its impact.
