sow-ing some reality

conservative commentator thomas sowell critiques liberal hobby horses such as 'universal' this and 'price control' that "with little or no awareness of the economic repercussions of turning that wish list into laws."

sowell cites the pharmaceutical industry, mass transit and rent control to demonstrates some flaws in these. but don't expect these calls to go away because its too pander for votes by demonizing bad guys because as Sowell comments:

"But the lure of the free lunch goes on."
