Liberals aren't satisfied with destroying most of the economy

They want it all.

The one area of the economy that has been improving like gangbusters is computers.  Looks like that's making some liberals unhappy.

Peter Lindert, an economist at the University of California, Davis, says the computer is more destructive than innovations in the Industrial Revolution because the pace at which it is upending industries makes it hard for people to adapt.

How do I know that Lindert is a liberal?  If he works at a University, he almost has to be, or they'll kick him out.  Not to mention that it is in California, for crying out loud.  You know, that state that is the bastion of the middle class that is being loved to death by their state government.

The post linked to is this post from AP, which is another hotbed of leftism.  It's all upside down.  The AP writers seem to think that progress is backward and backwardness is progress.

To their way of thinking, we need to smash everything, then let Keynesianism rebuild our economy with mountains of new debt which will never be repaid.  They will rebuild using energy sources that don't work, rules that prevent anything else that could work, and that part which does work even after all this, they will tax and regulate it into oblivion because of the unfairness of it all.
