Paul Mulshine is NOT my favorite Editorialist. But I have to admit, I lend him credit for this one.

This is one of his better articles. It's more loaded with facts than his usual commentary.

I agree, Mulshine generally is a real weenie. He often is presented on TV (local NJ PBS) as a token conservative and he's anything but. He harshly criticizes the GOP and every other conservative pundit you can think of. (He is especially harsh on Limbaugh while painting Rush's listeners as complete morons.) He claims to be a "libertarian". (what ever the hell that means this week)

But I agree with him generally on economic issues and, as you said, he nailed this one dead on.

There is no way Moonshine wrote this.

There is no mention of banning cigarettes or SUVS, There are no historical errors and he didn’t identify himself as a Conservative or Right winger over and over again like he always does in all his editorials.

The Red Star ledger was probably getting a lot of complaints about him being too obvious that he is only pretending to be a Conservative so he probably had a summer intern who is conservative (or at least a better faker than he is) write this for him.

This is a good article so hopefully the summer intern or whoever really wrote this replaces him.
