• Russ Roberts identifies a stunning bit of hubris from lefty economist J. Bradford DeLong. This is precisely why DeLong, who served in the Treasury Department during the Clinton administration, and his ilk need to be kept as far away from power as possible. 

• George Will has an update on the legal battle for economic liberty.

• David Boaz remembers the bad old days when politicians got along famously with one another and also ponders why the economic recovery is so slow. Typically excellent commentary from Boaz.

• Peter Suderman has a couple of updates on Medicare here and here.

• Mark Perry has another useful tax lesson from real life.
