One of my favorite pundits is Walter Russell Mead, and I say this even though I often find myself disagreeing with him. Disagreeing, and thinking hard about whether I was really right after all. He’s got a great blogpost up at The American Interest about health care, which I think hits the target square in the middle on the main problem with the Democrats’ health care bills:

“The current bill is a classic example of steady state, blue social model thinking: it is more interested in keeping the status quo going by pumping more money into it than it is in the basic restructuring needed to build a system that will work in the future.”
