Will politicians stop exploiting this unpaid labor?

• Mark Perry has a fantastic post on the decline of manufacturing jobs. Also these other posts of his on the EPA and auto imports.

• Ron Bailey notes that green jobs tend to correspond with red ink.

• The Financial Times has a nice piece on efforts to improve infrastructure in Colombia.

• Dana Milbank profiles a group of wealthy activists in favor of higher taxes on the rich. Two of those quoted inherited their fortunes while another confesses to having been raised in a 10 bedroom apartment in Manhattan.

• Don Boudreaux wonders if the same politicians who are concerned about unpaid internships will also eschew young people working for free on their election campaigns. Excellent point.
