What Is At Stake In This Election

Harvey’s Introduction

One of the absolute best speeches I’ve ever heard. Klingenstein explains clearly the differences in beliefs about our nation on the part of the two parties and the implications of those differences on our future. Brilliant and absolutely clear.

Constitutional Originalism

Harvey’s Introduction

This is an interesting, somewhat wonky article that appeared in National Review on why most criticisms of originalists in constitutional law seem not to understand what originalists believe. Others make arguments that ignore the clear reasoning of originalists. The article was written in response to the silly arguments against Amy Comey Barrett this week. I found the essay interesting and sharpened my own understanding of the issue.

2020 Irving Kristol Award remarks

Harvey’s Introduction

Eberstadt is an absolutely brilliant scholar, whose opinions are founded in deep analysis and understanding. This is a written version of the speech he gave at the Annual Dinner at American Enterprise Institute, honoring the late Irving Kristol. This is well worth reading and then reading again. It is a hopeful message.

Destroying the Institutions We Inherited

Harvey’s Introduction

This is a well written essay on the decline in important institutions that have defined and maintained our culture. He illustrates the decline across a wide range of institutions, which highlight the breadth and extent of this decline. I share his concern and that is why I am so adamant about the issues related to cancel culture.

Analysis of the Biden Economic Plan

Harvey’s Introduction,

Democrats have touted the Biden economic plan as very helpful to the economy. They leave out the fact that all the stimulus in his plan comes from using debt, in the trillions, to get that growth. It is a plan that is economically bad. This article by an esteemed economist at American Enterprise Institute shows why that’s the case.

America’s Economic Recovery From Covid

Harvey’s Introduction

A very interesting essay showing the difference in economic recovery is not related to lockdowns, except in some surprising ways.

DeBlasio Spends Money He Doesn’t Have

Harvey’s Introduction

DeBlasio can’t seem to get anything right. Here he’s spending money he doesn’t have to maintain the support of the teachers’ union – as if they could go elsewhere. He’s a horrible joke gone mad.

Harvey’s Introduction

Chris Pope, an outstanding scholar at Manhattan Institute wrote this essay exploring the policy and financial implications of Biden’s health care agenda. As you might expect, it is both impractical and expensive with large parts of it unnecessary.

Governing Priorities: Advice for America’s President

Harvey’s Introduction

The scholars at American Enterprise Institute are among the brightest and most thoughtful in America. In this compilation, nine of them offer their views on what the next president needs to do. They cover a range of topics from governmental reform, the pandemic, the looming debt crisis and others. I have not posted each of these essays but you can read them by clicking on the appropriate link.

The Revolution the US is Experiencing

Harvey’s Introduction

I am really afraid he’s correct but pray he’s wrong.
