The New Republic has just published a very strong article opposing Hillary Clinton’s proposal to address anxieties in the subprime market by freezing the initial, low teaser rates on adjustable rate mortgages, calling it “disastrous” and “a blunt tool applied too broadly to problems that are, in principle, contained and specific.”

Shikha Dalmia has an excellent essay from The Wall Street Journal on hypocricy within the environmental movement and the historical distinction between conservationists and preservationists. Dalmia works with our friends over at Reason.
