So, this is the new conservatism’s recipe for restored greatness: Political coercion shall supplant economic calculation in shaping decisions by companies in what is called, with diminishing accuracy, the private sector. This will be done partly as conservatism’s challenge to liberalism’s supremacy in the victimhood sweepstakes, telling aggrieved groups that they are helpless victims of vast, impersonal forces, against which they can be protected only by government interventions

george will acts as if anyone cares what he says about anything. Is he delusional, senile or both? What a butt-hurt loser.
Absolutely Right. The liberal mainstream media creators of the alternate false universe say the opposite of course but we know here the media lie.
That's how America became the industrial power of the world.
Then Democrat Woodrow Wilson and Democrat FDR and the progressive era decided that the IRS and income taxes would be better for the economy than tariffs. So they amended the Constitution so they can really grow government with the unconstitutional income tax.
Say Goodbye and Goodnight George.
You are past your expiration date.
George will is no William Buckley. National Review has taken a bizarre turn since Buckley died. It’s full of itself.
The tariff was not designed for protection in the early part of the 1800’s. It was designed to raise revenue. Protection versus revenue tariffs. A really effective protective tariff raises little or no revenue.
The tariff revenue was a principle source of revenue for the federal government for a good part of the early 1800’s. And we paid off the national debt sometime in the early 1830s as I recall.
>> Conservative principles have not been undermined here
Indeed.
The Country hemorrhaging at $20 Trillion isn’t much of a factor to the irrelevant contrarians.
George Will is a conservative. And he is an illustration of why Trump beat every conservative who dared to enter the field. Until ideology meets reality, movement conservatives will continue to be shut out at the national level. As it stands today post election 2016, Conservatism is as irrelevant as Libertarianism, and Will’s screed just gave a clear example of why.
Will is not a conservative. He is a beltway lifer who preferred Hillary Criminal and her Constition destroying SCOTUS to the GOP nominee. “True conservatives” fought to defeat her with their every breath. Obviously, Will did not do that.
George Will should be out on the street like 45 million other citizens are. Eventually it might dawn on him it was a good idea to focus on putting people to work again.
Folks, we gave it a try. Around 1992 we went full on for Free Trade (that wasn’t free). Some of us tried to talk sense into folks. They knew best.
The worst job situation in 85 years still hasn’t convinced them. To bleeping bad.
We’re taking measures to bring jobs back.
They had their way. It was too costly to the nation.
After gifting China with over 50 years of patents and know how, it’s time to think of us first.
There is no such thing as “Free Markets” with socialist/Marxists nations which use human beings as slaves of the state.
The problem is the definition of words—making them into meaningless things.
We NEVER had a so-called Free Market with any communist/socialist nation——but they called it “free market”—just like they call two sodomites who lust after each other, a “homosexual marriage”.
All irrational, to destroy nations for the NWO-—where we are all slaves of the elite psychopaths. George Will “thinks” he will be one of our masters—one of the elites—but he will be one of the first ones disposed of if tyranny does win out since he will be one of the useless ones then. He is a useful idiot now.
George Will: Hmmm
Wasn’t he a #NeverTrumper?
Wasn’t National Review the Home base of the NeverTrump movement?
I particularly liked this George Will quote which seems to be something a leftist democrat would say rather than some free-market conservative...:
We ought to say to these children, ‘Welcome to America, you’re going to go to school and get a job and become Americans,’” Will said on the Sunday morning show. “We have 3,141 counties in this country. That would be 20 [children] per county. The idea that we can’t assimilate these 8-year-old ‘criminals’ with their teddy bears is preposterous.”
Get ‘em out of here!
Tariffs were never designed to protect jobs. They were designed to protect infant industries. The Dems only switched to using tariffs to “protect” jobs during the Reagan era.
Stop insulting idiots
Idiot. There has never been a free market.
An intellectual like George Will has never been a blue collar work who lost his job because America made it easy for companies to move overseas and import back here.
Trump wants to stop the practice. If that means limiting what companies can do, so be it. Its called putting America and its people first. For that, Trump makes no apologies.
Our private sector will play by new rules.
Trump wants to DRASTICALLY reduce government regulations (eliminate 70% of gov regulations) and taxes on U.S. businesses. Which of your “movement conservatives” politicians or even pundits proposed any legislation for reducing 30% of government regulations, 10%? in the last 30 years after Reagan( Hint : Reagan was the only one).
Reducing government regulations and taxes is conservative by the way.
Well Trump wants to eliminate 70% of government regulations and also gov employees.

"Donald Trump Says 70% of Federal Regulations ‘Can Go’
U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said as many as 70% of federal agency regulations could be eliminated if he is elected in November
You mean by playing favorites with the Union leadership by raising minimum wage? What was not disclosed in these so called 'free trade' deals, is labor (humans) are a commodity. What business has George Will ever produced? He is a high minded snob that totally ignores it was 'government' action that created so called 'free-markets'...
When so called 'conservatives' bitch about Trump's economic plans, that tells me they got theirs, by government, and by golly they do not intend to have their pots of gold messed with by anyone.
Hey George. The 40’s called. They want their tie back.
