Big Government

Print publications are subject to no FCC-style censor, writes Gardner Goldsmith, and the market has managed itself quite well.

The government has no business stockpiling anything, including oil. But when three socialist amigos like Senators Charles Schumer of New York, Barbara Boxer of California and Harry Reid of Nevada all urged the Bush administration recently to help ease gasoline prices by releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), you know what's up. These three are all facing the voters come November, and they know from their many years in politics that nothing agitates the boobeoisie and engenders conspiracy theories like high gas prices.

Lew Rockwell agrees with Richard Clarke: "Your government failed you"--in many more ways than he is willing to admit.
