“Perhaps the most important conservative insight being depreciated is the durable warning from free-marketeers that government programs often fail to yield what their architects intend. Democrats have been busy expanding, enacting or proposing major state interventions in financial markets, energy and health care. Supporters of such efforts want to ensure that key decisions will be made in the public interest and be informed, for example, by sound science, the best new medical research or prudent standards of private-sector competition. But public-choice economists have long warned that when decisions are made in large, centralized government programs, political priorities almost always trump other goals. Even liberals should think twice about the prospect of decisions on innovative surgeries, light bulbs, and carbon quotas being directed by legislators grandstanding for the cameras. Of course, thinking twice would be easier if more of them were listening to conservatives at all.”

Take Nancy Pelosi — please. The more her policies are rejected, the more defiant becomes her rhetoric. Same goes for her counterparts in the Senate and in the Executive Branch. The latter's response to a resounding rejection of His "signature program"? Why, He just didn't explain it well enough to the dunces whose best interests are His only concerns, don't you know?

Meanwhile, some of the Demorats are already jumping ship. The runt of the Special-K litter has thrown in the towel in Rhode Island's 1st congressional district. Just because they're condescending doesn't necessarily mean they can't read what the electorate has been writing on the walls of their ivory towers.
