Politicians in Alabama and Georgia are cashing in on immigration fears to buy votes, but everyone pays, as Scott Beaulier, Darrick Luke and Daniel Smith explain. Robert Higgs asks if regime uncertainty explains the current malaise. Andrew Morriss marvels at how much better we live than Elvis did. Gary Chartier asks who’s really on the side of the poor and Robert Murphy says the Euro shows how little one can expect from a currency born entirely of government.

Comment by Steve Hogan on 3 April 2009:
One would have to be a fool to expect anything substantive from these boondoggles. Our “leaders” preen and posture before the cameras, and it gives the press and the unemployed protestors something to do. Otherwise, it’s a total waste of time.Too bad we can’t bottle and sell rhetoric. We could pay off the debt.
