The Evil of 2 Lessers

"Bush has been terribly protectionist. Kerry promises to be worse. Bush has been an outrageous big spender. Kerry says that he hasn't spent enough. Bush dramatically expanded the welfare state. Kerry says it is not nearly enough. This is competition of a very strange sort: a contest to see how one can outdo the other in bad ideas and bad behavior."

-- Lew Rockwell, "Two Kinds of Competition"
