The woman who leaves the public workplace is “the Brooklyn hipster who quit her PR job to sell hand-knitted scarves at craft fairs,” Matchar writes. “She’s the dreadlocked ‘radical homemaker’ who raises her own chickens to reduce her carbon footprint. She’s the thirty-one-year-old new mom who starts an artisan cupcake company from her home kitchen rather than return to her law firm. He’s the hard-driven Ivy Leaguer fleeing corporate life for a Vermont farm.”

This week in his own column, George fortunately gives the gals a rest, and devotes himself to regurgitating a speech given by Christopher DeMuth bemoaning modern times, deficit spending in particular. According to George doing Chris, “It enables the political class to provide voters with significantly more government benefits than current taxes can finance, leaving the difference to be paid by voters too young to vote or not yet born.”
Hmmmm. I seem to remember Chris working for the Reagan Administration, back when Ronnie invented modern deficit spending, cutting taxes and boosting government spending, so that he doubled the national debt in eight years. I wonder if Chris regrets that.
