For the neoconservative movement to haul forth Hayek at this point an howl at Keynes… after their entire movement has seen its credibility destroyed by reality, across the last twenty years, is an ultimate groaner. Let’s put it plain. The neocons can point to NOT A SINGLE CLEAR STATISTICAL METRIC OF NATIONAL HEATH THAT UNAMBIGUOUSLY IMPROVED DURING THEIR TENURE. Their mythologies lie in ruins, along with our economy, our civil society, our small businesses, our markets, our military, our alliances, our stature and our science. Not one of the bold predictions made by Supply Side economics ever came true. Not one, ever. David Brin ☀
