If you want to understand Democrat fantasies in the absence of financial constraint or common sense, read Reed Hundt’s book, “In China’s Shadow.” Reed Hundt is a permanent member of the American politcal class, a Yalie, a partner in a high-powered law firm, head of Bill Clinton’s FCC, and a member of Barack Obama’s transition team.

Free money is Reed Hundt’s great idea.

Here’s how it works. Muggins, that is you & me, the hard-pressed American taxpayer, should buy everyone from Nome to Tierra del Fuego a pension, healthcare, and education. By these means, the United States will win in the economic competition with China that furnishes the title of his book and a small fraction of its other content.

No, it’s not a joke! He is being serious — if you’re an American with a job, you should spread the wealth around the hemisphere.

The leftist cabal currently in power and the pointy-headed intellectuals who influence them really think this way.
