The Next Great Economics Blog
The Corner on National Review Online — ... ] Keith Hennessey has finally obliged all his friends and admirers and started his own blog . Keith has been a key player in conservative economic circles since the mid-90s, as a staffer on the Senate Budget Committee, then in Trent Lott s office while Lott was majority leader, and then for six years as a senior economic advisor in the Bush White House (as deputy director and then director of the National Economic Council). He s the real deal: a numbers guy (his formal education is actually in math, not economics) with an eye for creative policy solutions, a conservative s ...

Conor Freidersdorf is Not Ready to Take on Mark Levin

The distance from “reluctantly” agreeing with some of the President’s plan to a full endorsement of the whole plan that you might get from Paul Krugman is considerable. I doubt that Conor would argue that because James Bond drove around in expensive cars and stayed in expensive hotels like Auric Goldfinger, he also shared the villain’s desire to steal all the gold from Fort Knox. The truth of the matter is that President Obama is a collectivist and a statist. He believes ...

Test-driving health care legislation
SCSUScholars — ... So too would the legislative language. When Congress says it cannot provide time to us because we wouldn't understand it anyway, this misses the point. I don't want to see it myself -- Carper and the other Democrats are probably right that I can't get through it in three days. But I want someone who is expert in reading health care legislation who is not a member of the majority to read it. Such people exist at think tanks up and down Washington, from a Keith Hennessey to a ...

After Pelosi
Weekly Standard Blog — Super-wonk Keith Hennessy has released a new outlook for health care reform. Read it!

I am still projecting a 60% chance that a comprehensive bill becomes law this year, but I have shifted some of that 60% from the regular order path to the reconciliation path.
