The Vigorous Virtues
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/the-conservative-hot-tub-time-machine/
"I was struck by a passage in David Brooks’s column today:
But, over the years, government has grown and undermined these virtues. Wall Street financiers no longer have to behave prudently because they know government will bail them out. Middle-class families no longer have to practice thrift because they know they can use government to force future generations to pay for their retirements. Dads no longer have to marry the women they impregnate because government will step in and provide support.
Do conservative intellectuals still talk like this? Or have I stumbled into a hot tub time machine?"
