David Brooks on Israel's need to find a solution to its demographic realities while maintaining security.

This piece by Uwe Reinhardt really does a good job of summarizing the basis of how reality shapes the health care debate. What the GOP really wants is death panel's or lack of insurance rationing the availability of health care for the poor so that Medicaid costs are controlled. or would Sarah Palin/Grover Norquist actually provide the revenues to pay for such care?

Tom Egan on what motivates the GOP to reduce the social safety net.

And last a commentary on the values of austerity economics vs. traditional Keynesian/Friedman counter cyclical economics. Remember in the latter you run a budget surplus when the economy is doing well to pay down the debt you built up in the recession. Something the GOP forgot during the last 30 years when they were in power.
Why Keynes/Friedman are correct
And last a word from the Tea Party. Contrast the lack of facts and economic policy basis in this presentation vs the other posts.
