This whole Benghazi pseudo-scandal was supposed to have blown over by now, right? As long ago as November, liberals like DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have been telling people to “give it a rest” — after all, “the election’s over” and Obama won, so what difference, at this point, does it make?

Liberal Slate writer Matthew Yglesias knows the IRS did something wrong in targeting conservative 501(c)(4) groups and leaking their confidential information to liberal journalists, but he can’t quite figure out what. Tax administration is hard! He asks if the only alternative to selectively targeting conservative organizations is to “rubber stamp everything.” Because giving equal scrutiny […]

The last time we checked in with Slate economics writer Matthew Yglesias, he was discovering the problem of long-term unemployment. Now the wunderkind is back with another great insight. Companies go into debt quite often. Therefore, Yglesias implies, there clearly is no reason to worry about government debt. Wait. What? And there is supergenius Matt […]
Gee, we wonder what could account for the marked increase in long-term unemployment that has occurred during President Obama’s presidency? Liberal blogger Matthew Yglesias clearly has no clue, but here’s what President Obama’s former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers wrote in The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: To fully understand unemployment, we must consider the causes of recorded long-term unemployment.
