Things I Learned from David Frum

Basically it's that if he makes a statement, he is at best being deceptive, and worst completely inaccurate, note my little complaint letter to Marketplace about his inaccuracies of discussions regarding European fighter aircraft.

So, I heard him on Marketplace condemning Obama's suggestion of improved unemployment benefits, and thought, "If he hates the idea it must be a good one."

So a trip to Google News, and then to the New York Times for the details on the proposal.

I was right, it's pretty good:

• Extended unemployment insurance.
• Subsidies for employers to help laid off employees with health insurance via COBRA.
• Medicaid for laid off employees without health plans, and hence COBRA.

These are all good things.
