Missouri Free Market Failure

Those of us who keep a close eye on free market extremists have been watching for the launch of "The Missouri Record", a lobbyist-run "independent" site promoting deregulation at the state and local levels. For a while now, the Missourians for Responsible Government have maintained a web address promising the launch of a "A Journal of Politics and Policy" in April.

Now that April has passed into history, those who purport to insist on responsibility for government have failed to live up to their self-imposed responsibility to launch a website on time. Now they claim they will launch it in May . . .

So far, the "Missouri Record" is simply yet another amusing example of those who like to talk about responsibility for others tending not to practice it themselves.
