...DeLeo unveiled a comprehensive bill that seeks to liberalize Massachusetts’s gambling laws. Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78 failed in a similar effort in 2007, but the tide may be turning. Yesterday, the bill won the committee backing that it needed in order to proceed, meaning that Massachusetts may be well on its way to joining the list of over 30 other states that allow hotel casinos...
...specific historical circumstances in which liberal democracy flourished are likely to keep society’s normalizing compass spinning. The U.S. is a notable example of this—a society that has retained a sense of morality outside of the harm principle but is unsure where to proceed next. As fewer and fewer citizens in Fukuyama’s predicted world see the value in virtue, society would be likely to advance toward a morally minimal liberalism.

...doctors are scheduled to be cut by 21 percent in April, and then continue to decline for the rest of the decade. While this cut is typically reversed by Congress before it occurs, the oft-quoted CBO analysis of the Democratic health care legislation assumes that the cut will proceed and adds the savings to the reform’s tally. Without the “Doc Fix,” the CBO concludes that the bill adds to the deficit over the next decade. We’ll believe that Democrats will cut Medicare payments when...
