Every now and then, George Will writes a piece that isn’t a) about baseball, or b) totally incomprehensible to me. Today was one of those days.
He wrote a great commentary that points out how America’s long-standing “surreptitious socialism” (his term) is intensifying of late. He gives several examples of how temporary government intervention to help a struggling industry is rarely temporary or helpful. Heck, even the struggling part is dubious.
He also asserts that conservatives are as complicit as liberals, and he’s as worried as I am about the near-term possibility of even more “help” from Washington.
I don’t often agree with his positions but I think his analysis was spot on.
