KRUGMAN PLAYS THE DRAFT CARD by Donald Luskin "Why does Paul Krugman say in his Times column today that "Mr. Bush is prepared to seek a much larger Army -- and that means reviving the draft"? Obviously, he's promoting the desperate myth already circualted by the Democrats that Bush has a "secret plan" for a military draft -- but that's not what I mean. Why, for Krugman, is the idea that the Army would be expanded evidence that a draft is inevitable? Is a draft the only way to build the Army? For Krugman it is -- but remember, Krugman is an economist who hates free markets. For him, it's not even worth consdering that incentives for voluntary enlistment could be created. For Krugman, whatever government wants government is justified in seizing by force. If government wants to give everyone health care coverage, it should seize the means to do so by force through taxing "the rich." Same for the Army. Krugman's logic reveals nothing about Bush's plan for a draft, but a lot about Krugman's view of the role of government." poorandstupid.com
