Epistemic Bypass: Supply-Side Edition

For the record, I am officially against both assassinating American citizens and, on NRO this morning, supply-side tax-cut orthodoxy, and I have not yet been called in for a Maoist self-criticism session.

But, surely, a narrow-minded, closed-off, groupthinking magazine like ours would never let me write about selling babies on the free market or argue that Milton Friedman would have supported bank bailouts or call Republicans “stupid” for failing to appreciate the upside of nuclear proliferation. Or notice that wars cause high taxes.

Epistemic closure ain’t what it used to be.
