Just last year, the talking point was all the rage, unanimously chorused by GOP pundits, politicians and economists looking to hammer President Obama for a stalled-out economy.The argument was simple: Employers were refusing to hire because they feared the "regulatory uncertainty" flowing in the wake of the passage of the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank bank reform law.

It has eliminated the staggering unemployment that has brought so much misery to so many families. And, apparently, it has erased the suffocating debt and added enough spunk to the economy that it no longer needs all of those little tax dollars that small businesses provide.That is why the federal government has so much time these days for fine-tuning our society in ways that might seem frivolous if we didn’t have so much patience and extra money lying...]]>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/2012/02/22/feds_wage_war_on_hair_dryers_fresh_milk_274029.htmlhttp://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/feb/21/hurt-federal-war-on-hair-dryers-fresh-milk/http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/feb/21/hurt-federal-war-on-hair-dryers-fresh-milk/ 100274029 AM Update Charles Hurt, Wash Times 125514 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:04:32 -0600 02/22/2012/00/00/00 Sadly, the transitional government in Egypt today appears determined to shoot itself in both feet.On Sunday, it will put on trial 43 people, including at least 16 U.S. citizens, for allegedly bringing unregistered funds into Egypt to promote democracy without a license.

Although just nine years ago the justices held that public universities could use race as a factor in admissions, much has changed since then, including the election of the first African-American to the presidency.

Meanwhile, the other candidates for the Republican presidential nomination have little at all to say about the poor, beyond demands to cut federal programs that focus on their needs.All this confirms one of the oldest stereotypes in American politics: that conservatives are uncaring, hardhearted skinflints, unworthy to govern a people known for charity and compassion. ]]>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/2012/02/22/is_conservative_philanthropy_ignoring_the_poor_274023.htmlhttp://philanthropy.com/article/Is-Conservative-Philanthropy/130834/http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http://philanthropy.com/article/Is-Conservative-Philanthropy/130834/ 100274023 AM Update William Schambra, CoP 123391 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:07:25 -0600 02/22/2012/00/00/00 Reed Hastings, 51, the C.E.O. of Netflix, is bloody but only slightly bowed.
