MEGAN MCARDLE: “It’s pretty clear at this point that any health care reform which passes is going to have more voters against it than for it.” It’s as if the whole thing’s some sort of subtle Rovian trap. Oh, well, at least vast majorities support global-warming remedies, right? Uh, right?

Megan’s Holiday Gift Guide

I’d add a decent iron skillet to the [...]

Megan McArdle, “Will the Former Politicians Please Shut the Hell Up?” – I don’t agree with McArdle here about Cheney, but I certainly feel the way she does to a degree. His comments help people who are willing to throw any and every charge against the President until something sticks. Needless to say, those people [...]

Megan McArdle on Climate ChangeMike Rappaport

Well, Ms. McArdle finally acknowledges that there is a scandal here. It took her some time, but I am glad she finally came around. She tries to figure out why she didn't see it at first, but excuses herself. Natural...

A New WPA?

Megan McArdle writes about why a WPA-style jobs program would be unlikely to work in 21st century America: My father was the head of a trade association for the heavy construction industry, and most of my closest relatives either work for the government, or have done so in the past. As you can imagine, over my lifetime I've had a lot of conversations about government procedure and government...

Why Do So Many People Hate Health Care Reform?

Megan McArdle looks at the problem. One explanation might be risk aversion. If somebody has a 50/50 shot at winning $1 million or can take $500,000 for certain, what will he do? A risk neutral person would be indifferent. But most people's risk aversion will make them eager to take the sure thing. People are extremely risk averse when it comes to health care precisely because the stakes...

Megan McArdle, on today’s outburst of mass media bloviation on climate change: If fifty-four newspapers had wanted to make a serious statement about the environment that their readers were sure to pay attention to, they might have stopped printing and distributing their energy intensive product for a day.
