The left doesn't get it

Okay, it is not like we have to "prove" the left doesn't like money and doesn't understand it. By now that should be common knowledge. But egregious examples still need to be highlighted.

Today's New York Times (read it here) calls for adding money to the stimulus bill to build 1.5 million units of affordable housing. This will house poor people and create jobs, according to the Times.

Ladies and gentlemen: is there anybody out there who doesn't know this crisis was sparked by overbuilding? That the markets are flooded with housing? That there are empty houses and apartments and condos all over this nation? That building more units makes the problem worse, not better?

The same issue of the Times has a couple of good articles on the stimulus plan and the politics. But today's editorial makes it so blindingly obvious that the left will never cease doing the wrong things for all the right reasons.

You're right. Never did, never will.
