Forgive me if I do not consider the WSJ to be a credible source regarding this subject and this holds doubly true for the opinion pieces they run. To be honest, unless the WSJ editorial board is frothing at the mouth I know that any government proposal or program is far too small or ineffective to actually be worth the effort. They say you know a politician is lying when their lips are moving and I know a WSJ opinion article is lying to me when they make the effort to print the words onto the page.

- WalterBright 5y agoI'm curious what your source of news is.
- evgen 5y agoDaily/weekly read list is The Economist, FT, BBC, New Scientist and sometimes Le Monde or Suddeutsche Zeitung if there are events across the channel I need to care about; I will scan articles from the Times and Guardian but mostly for laughs. The WSJ used to not suck. I had a subscription through college up into the early 2000s and my college roommate interned for them prior to joining as a copy editor in the early 90s so I have a bit of a soft spot for what the WSJ used to be. The opinion/editorial section was always hot garbage, but it used to be the case that the articles were high quality; ever since Murdoch bought them the quality of journalism has gone to shit and now the journal is only useful to wrap fish or as the punchline to a bad joke.
- WalterBright 5y agoFair enough.
