Supermarket Merger Muddle

"Traditional supermarkets have been losing a great deal of market share to those excluded from that definition." ~Gary Galles

In Policy, Vagueness is No Virtue  

"Vagueness virtually ensures bad policies, if advancing Americans’ well-being —rather than party power — is the criterion." ~Vincent Geloso

Unity in Disunity

"When 'unity' means government policies will substitute for choices we would make for ourselves, it means domination, even though we do not want to be dominated." ~Gary Galles

What Chalkboard Curves Ignore

"When dealing with public policies, however, we should remember that using just one diagram may still be misleading. More than one incentive story or relationship is usually in play." ~Gary M. Galles

Robinson-Patman Deserves Last Rites, Not Resurrection

"It strips consumers’ freedom to choose for themselves in an area they are far more competent at than government 'enforcers,' combined with the chutzpah of claiming that its purpose is to benefit competition." ~Gary M. Galles

Creating So Many Jobs that Destroy Wealth 

"Many of the jobs created directly or indirectly by government policies impose net costs on society rather than producing benefits, which worsens rather than improves Americans’ wellbeing." ~Gary M. Galles

Failed Proof that Every Vote Counts

"Many candidates who have vociferously insisted that 'every vote counts' push policies that deny vast numbers of Americans the right to get what they would vote for if given the choice." ~Gary Galles
