Sowell nails it again.
Dr. Sowell.
Your piece should be required reading among Senate Republicans and alleged Republicans (such as Lindsey Graham.)
.
Since President Bush started the “stimulus package” game, this was also an opportunity for Congressional Republicans to cut themselves loose from the political baggage of the Bush administration’s unpopularity.
****************************************
I don’t understand why “Republicans” went along with the Bush spending spree for 8 years.
Is the Republican congress responsible for their drunken sailor spending?
Why have they grown a spine now?
Don’t they have kids that will live here in 40 years?
Senator Treason and Congressman Hairdo have sold us out.
Sowell gets it. Do the RINOs look at someone like Sowell as he enemy? Seriously, if you asked a RINO who the most influential Republican president was, they’d say Reagan most likely, yet they strive to be NOTHING like Reagan. I have to wonder if Sowell ran for office if the Republicans would throw him under the bus?

Thomas Sowell Ph.D, one of America’s great thinkers, I wish we had millions more like him.
I have always loved Mr. Sowell. He embodies everything great about rugged individualism and constant desire for enlightenment.
[Principles are] the only advantage the Republicans have. The Democrats have the media, the unions, the environmental extremists and the tort lawyers on their side. Why should Republicans throw away their one advantage by becoming imitation Democrats?. . . What principle separates the Republicans from the Democrats? If they are just Tweedledee and Tweedledum, then elections come down to personality and rhetoric. If that happens, you can bet the rent money on the Democrats winning.
I wonder what he thinks of Michael Steele?
It was not the market, but the government, that pushed for abandoning traditional standards for making mortgage loans. That was what got both borrowers and lenders way out on a limb — and set off economic shock waves when the limb broke.True.
