The moral of Jindal's parable, is basically that's it's per se wrong to implement policies that increase the national debt. That doing [so] is "irresponsible" due to the burden it places on "our children."
And you sometimes do see him cosigning these kind of manifestos....
If you [are] genuinely interested in Russian democracy, you don't crowd the US-Russian bilateral relationship with counterproductive hostility.
Clearly, a new VP was needed, and Roosevelt tapped Wallace, a reliable liberal, in part to ensure loyalty and in part because FDR new full well that he was turning away from the New Deal and toward national security and wanted to keep the New Dealers in the tent.Wallace went back to farming, [and]supported the Korean War in 1950.

...
As such, Hopkins was shifted out of the Commerce job and sent overseas as an unofficial adversary to Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin as well as to a key role in the Lend-Lease program.
Ezra's main point is that coverage that's utterly trivial and that poisons public understanding of crucial issues that effect the lives of billions of people is rewarded by the market, and that Politico does a good [job] of delivering on coverage that's utterly trivial and that poisons public understanding of crucial issues that effect the lives of billions of people.
The volume of leaks and hints that Governor Kathleen Sebelius is likely to be our next secretary of Health and Human Services [is] growing.
The people who would be the main beneficiaries of a more social democratic policy dynamic--a couple of non-college parents who could really use some free child care and and guaranteed health care and pension, for example--are relatively unlikely to have personal experience that cuts one way or the other [in] regards to how terrifying Europe is.
Nowhere in the works of Adam Smith or John Stuart Mill, for example, is there anything about how if science indicates that [a] certain form of human activity that was long thought to be harmless to others is, in fact, doing massive, hard-to-reverse damage to the long-term interests of billions of people that the correct response is to retreat into dogma and ignorance....
Now as [you] probably know, the media sometimes hypes up bogus trend stories with no real basis in evidence.

Eighteen months ago there were lots of social welfare [projects] that Barack Obama (or Hillary Clinton or John Edwards or Bill Richardson) could have embraced to endear himself to Democratic Party primary voters except advisers would come back and say "Senator, that'll cost $350 [billion] over ten years--we can't do it." But it's a much smaller number than $2.5 trillion.
But a fiscal stimulus measure is a situation where time really is of the essence and it would be pretty irresponsible for the President or his team to send congress a proposal that [is] so outside the ballpark of what congress is prepared to consider.
Now on some level, that can [be] fine.
The alternative in which we buy American and the Japanese buy Japan and the Europeans buy European is quite a bit worse for everyone....
Indeed, while all countries need to engage in stimulus it seems to me that we actually need bigger stimulus relative to GDP from surplus countries like Japan, China, and German than we ourselves engage in.
...

The details of roquefort's problem [aside], the key issue is that in a "trade war" like this, everyone loses:...
6. At which point everyone is even more worse off.
...
The we'll have to think of further measures to hurt their producers. And much the same would apply to Japan and Chinese.
Been busy. I think of a real blog post soon.
It occurred to me, incidentally, to wonder if I wasn't overlooking a major Commerce Department role in Prohibition during the 1920s, but it seems that Volstead Act enforcement was lodged inside the Treasury Department (initially subordinate [to] the IRS' precursor agency, later as a freestanding Treasury component like today's BATF) rather than Commerce or Justice.
Basically, they like the corporate tax cuts to which worth projects like mass transit have had to take a seat, but they want even more business tax cuts....
Any $800 billion bill split between tax and spending provisions is going to include some stuff people like, and some stuff people don't like, and therefore a lot of members who could conceivably go either way.
Here's Max Boot, hawkish pundit deems the Arab Peace Initiative "laughable" and says "That this is not actually a solution to the Israeli-Arab dispute should be obvious to anyone with even a modicum of understanding of the region."
A more optimistic way of looking at it would be to say that between Ehud Barak's proposals at the end of his time [as] prime minister and the Arab League's proposals in 2002, the two sides' negotiating positions have never been closer together.
No surprise to see the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act passing the Senate, but unquestionable a good thing.

Whether or not you think progressive economic works in practice, and whether or not progressive economic policy is popular in practice at any given time, the progressive idea is that we're setting about to make sure that prosperity is more broadly shared--to improve the material condition of the broad mass of people. That's something that ought to appeal to people. So progressives cling pretty dearly to the notion that our views can and should be made broadly popular. Conservative thinking doesn't really have that element. It appeals, on both a theoretical and practical level, to the idea of the natural right of the wealthy to their wealthy.

Long story short, whatever topline estimate you could do would be pretty uncertain and would run into trouble when you started thinking about implementing it in a micro sense. To make a long story short, the correct answer is a big number but the real limits probably lie in thick in the weeds rather than up in the clouds in a way that makes calculations very difficult.
I know you'll find this shocking, but The Weekly Standard Michael Goldfarb is lying about J Street.
When I was a colllege freshman in 1999-2000, there were nutty dot-com firms handing out huge salaries to people for no reason. Consequently, it relatively easy to get into a prestigious law school's class of 2003 and guarantee yourself a nice salary when you finished.
Not so J.D. Foster and William W. Beach who argue in a new Heritage Foundation paper that more Bushism than every before is needed:
