Fannie, Freddie, Peter, and Barney

http://www.cato-at-liberty.org

By Tad DeHavenLast week, after Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) said that holders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s debt shouldn’t be expected to be treated the same as holders of U.S. government debt, the U.S. Treasury took the “unusual” step of reiterating its commitment to back Fannie and Freddie’s debt.
If ever there was case against allowing a few hundred men and women to micromanage the economy, this is it.

http://reason.com

Over the last few weeks, the White House and its

Green Like Me!

http://reason.com

Via Instapundit comes this
link to an excellent Economist debate between one-time Obama "green
jobs" czar nominee Van Jones and Andy Morriss on whether the

Reason Writers Around Town: Shikha Dalmia on ObamaCare as the Democrats' Iraq

http://reason.com

In her latest Forbes column, Reason Foundation Senior
Analyst Shikha Dalmia notes: "Pushing ObamaCare was an astonishing
misjudgment, the domestic policy equivalent of President Bush
launching a full-scale preemptive strike against Iran after
embroiling the country in Iraq and Afghanistan. But why don't
progressives get that this is terrible economic timing?"

New at Reason: Jacob Sullum on Obama's Fake Fight With Insurers

http://reason.com

"We allow the insurance
industry to run wild in this country," President Obama declared on
Monday. "We can't have a system that works better for the insurance
companies than it does for the American people." Despite this

competition, and guarantee their profits, all at the expense of
consumers and taxpayers. It is therefore not surprising, Sullum
says, that the insurance companies are happy to be
domesticated.
