Justice claims the Journal bribed officials to get information. In China? No, that can’t be.
Some at the paper think the “wistleblower” is a Chinese agent seeking revenge for the Journal’s reporting on high level officials.

Free Phone Program, Lifeline, Filled with Fraud
The FCC recently started enforcing eligibility guidelines for the Lifeline program. (The program started in 1984.) The agency thought 15% of participants would shake out. It was a lot more than that.
You’d Be Surprised at What’s Tax Deductible
Sadly, it’s that time of year again. The big bill. A little help (maybe) from The Wall Street Journal.
The Biggest Bail-out of Them All
The Wall Street Journal got this right in an editorial today:
Libertarians are a Distinct Species
This site is for everyone who believes that when governments collude with business, unions, and other “private” parts of the economy bad things usually happen. We have conservative readers. We have liberal readers. We also have a strong contingent of libertarian readers and it is no secret that this site is very pro-liberty. We believe in the free markets (and free prices) as well as free minds.
Libertarians have long been on the political margins but this is less and less the case. The emergence of the libertarians is perhaps the most interesting thing going on in American politics today and the mainstream is just getting hip to it. It is trying to get its head around the phenomenon. What is a “libertarian” anyway? Why do they think the way they do?
That is the subject of the attached piece from The Wall Street Journal.
“For the U.S., the moment to act is now, before the cancer of crony capitalism metastasizes.”
Luigi Zingales asserts in this Wall Street Journal op-ed that America is starting to look a little too much like Italy (his mother country) economically.
Increasingly merit has less to do with “success” in the United States than access to persons of power, especially government power.
