Left v. Right on Katrina

Neil H. Buchanan (Rutgers-Newark), Left2Right: Tell Us Again.  Here is the opening:

Tell us again that government is the problem, that things will be perfect if we just shrink our governments down to nothing and allow the wonders of private enterprise to solve all of our problems. As we look in horror at the grisly results of under-funded and ignored public works projects, we need to hear again the song that lulled us to sleep for decades, telling us that we will all be better off if we vilify and ridicule all government programs. Surveying the terrible human cost of a monumental failure to plan for an emergency that was not only predictable but predicted, we need to hear again that the invisible hand is the best planner and that government planning will inevitably make matters worse.

Michael Rappaport (San Diego), The Right CoastTell Us Again:

Consider this post by a liberal or leftist blogger over at Left2Right. Unbelieveable. It reads like a parody of left wing self-righteousness surrounded by conclusory arguments.
