Domestic Axis of Evil
16th June 2024
There is a human tendency to believe that all of the things one doesn’t like are in league or of a piece. That can lead to delusion and misapprehension. On the other hand, it sometimes turns out to be true.
Take the case of the Inflation Reduction Act, which should better be known as the Inflation Promotion Act. This grotesque law is nothing but a grab-bag of payoffs to Democratic Party constituencies. And it turns out that, guided by left-wing ideology, these constituencies do turn out to be in league.
