Christopher Hayes writing in The Nation.That's why I limit my regular reading to the Financial Times, National Journal, The Economist, CQ Weekly, etc.The vast majority of interest groups in Washington, from the Sierra Club to the AFL-CIO to Planned Parenthood, are pursuing what Edsall calls "substantive reform"--attempting to push legislation and enact policies that will provide public goods, protect citizens from harm and redistribute benefits, rights and privileges away from the powerful and toward middle-class citizens and disenfranchised minorities.And if you believe that, might I mention that if you act quickly I have some land in Florida just ripe for development.
