Talking to Liberals....

Arnold Kling, a MIT PhD economist, has a fine article out (the first of a series) aimed at how liberals might communicate better.  Part of the message is that they might think through the implications of their policy ideas.  Kling works through Maryland's idea of requiring companies (but aimed at Wal Mart) to improve health care benefits for its workers by requiring that a certain percentage of company funds are applied.
