Obama's Overreaching Economic Policies

By George F. Will

For the first time, neither sales nor property nor income taxes are the largest source of money for state and local governments. The federal government is.

The Obama administration's agenda of maximizing dependency involves political favoritism cloaked in the raiment of "economic planning" and "social justice" that somehow produce results superior to what markets produce when freedom allows merit to manifest itself, and incompetence to fail. The administration's central activity -- the political allocation of wealth and opportunity -- is not merely susceptible to corruption, it is corruption.
