An economic school has led to gridlock in Washington

An economic school has led to gridlock in Washington

By E.J. Dionne Jr., Published: February 9

One of my favorite moments during the 2012 Republican presidential contest came 
when Ron Paul, fresh from his strong showing in Iowa, triumphantly told his 
supporters: "We're all Austrians now!"

I imagined many Americans scratching their heads and wondering: Why do we want 
to be Austrians? They live in a nice country with stunning mountains and all 
that, but aren't we perfectly happy to be Americans?

Of course those in the know, particularly Paul's enthusiasts, understood the 
libertarian presidential candidate's reference: that Americans were rejecting 
the economic ideas of John Maynard Keynes that encouraged government 
intervention and provided intellectual ballast for the New Deal. Instead, they 
were coming around to the principles of the anti-government economics of 
Austrians Friedrich A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. 

Hayek and Mises perceived little difference between democratic governments that 
used their power to plan against recessions and dictatorships that did the same 
thing. In this view, the policies of Franklin Roosevelt led down what Hayek 
called the "Road to Serfdom" and were thus objectively comparable to those of 
Hitler or Stalin.

At the time, Paul offered some context for his Austrian journey. He was quoting 
a supporter who had noted a line attributed to President Richard Nixon that 
"we're all Keynesians now." Paul observed that back then, even Republicans 
"accepted liberal economics." Those days are gone.

Paul's words are worth remembering not only because they are entertaining but 
also because he has a point. To a remarkable degree, our politics are haunted by 
the principles of Austrian economics and their sweeping hostility to any actions 
by government to keep downturns from becoming catastrophes or to promote greater 
economic fairness.

This is, indeed, an enormous change. When Nixon declared his allegiance to 
Keynesianism, he was reflecting an insight embraced across partisan lines. 
Government's exertions, both during the New Deal and more completely during 
World War II, helped rescue the U.S. economy from depression. 

Postwar Keynesian approaches, including the Marshall Plan, let loose an economic 
juggernaut across the Western world. Secular and Christian parties of the 
moderate right and social democratic parties of the moderate left created free 
societies and regulated market economies that delivered the goods - literally as 
well as figuratively - to tens of millions. (The actual country of Austria, by 
the way, largely ignored the "Austrian" economists and followed a similar path.) 


Those who follow Hayek and Mises would have us forget this history or rewrite it 
beyond comprehension. They would also have us overlook that Hayek's "own 
historical justification for apolitical market economics was entirely wrong," as 
the late Tony Judt put it in "Thinking the Twentieth Century," his extraordinary 
dialogue with his fellow historian Timothy Snyder, published in 2012, after 
Judt's death.

Hayek believed, Judt said, that "if you begin with welfare policies of any sort 
- directing individuals, taxing for social ends, engineering the outcomes of 
market relationships - you will end up with Hitler."

But to the contrary, postwar initiatives along Keynesian lines are precisely 
what prevented both the resurgence of fascism and the collapse of Western Europe 
into communist hands. For that matter, Keynesian steps also kept the whole world 
from going into a much deeper and more disastrous slide after the financial 
crisis of 2008.

Yet today's conservatives are in thrall to Austrian thinking, and this explains 
a lot of what is going on in Washington. Broadly popular measures such as 
raising the minimum wage and extending unemployment insurance - normal, 
bipartisan legislation during the Keynesian heyday - are blocked on the 
assumption that people are better off if the government simply keeps its mitts 
off the market. 

It is now difficult for Congress to pass even the kind of spending that all 
sides once saw as necessary public investment in transportation, research and 
education. It's that "road to serfdom" again: Anything government does beyond 
enforcing contracts and stopping violence is denounced as the first step of a 
fox trot toward dictatorship. 

So let's give Ron Paul credit for unmasking the true source of gridlock in 
Washington: Too many conservatives are operating on the basis of theories that 
history and practice have discredited. And liberals have been more reluctant 
than they should be to call the ideological right on this, partly because they 
never fully got over the shell shock of the Reagan years and also because they 
have a strange aversion to arguing about theory. When it comes to government 
policy, the Austrian economists paved the road to paralysis.

So much for atheists having no joy in their lives...

Obamacare Works in CA

I give you California

by teacherkenFollow

What would happen if we unveiled a program that looked like Obamacare, in a place that looked like America, but with competent project management that produced a working website?

Well, your wish is granted. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you California.

The words above are the key to Paul Krugman's column today, California, Here We Come?

Krugman acknowledges the mess of the roll-out, but points at California as an example of how an approach like Obamacare can work, if properly managed.

He aknowledges the success in Kentucky, how NY is doing okay, and reminds us about Romneycare in MA, but that was a state with relatively few uninsured.  But his focus is California.  Why?

California is, however, an especially useful test case. First of all, it’s huge: if a system can work for 38 million people, it can work for America as a whole. Also, it’s hard to argue that California has had any special advantages other than that of having a government that actually wants to help the uninsured. When Massachusetts put Romneycare into effect, it already had a relatively low number of uninsured residents. California, however, came into health reform with 22 percent of its nonelderly population uninsured, compared with a national average of 18 percent.

Please keep reading.

California authorities have been transparent with their data, which now shows over 10,000 people a day enrolling, and on target to meet goals for 2014.  Contrast this with the Federal program, and as Krugman notes, imagine how the press coverage would be different were that data showing 100,000/day signing up.

Krugman covers what happened with John Boehner, including his office putting the healthcare exchange on hold for 35 minutes.

But there is more to California.  Krugman notes a key statistic:

To work as planned, health reform has to produce a balanced risk pool — that is, it must sign up young, healthy Americans as well as their older, less healthy compatriots. And so far, so good: in October, 22.5 percent of California enrollees were between the ages of 18 and 34, slightly above that group’s share of the population.

What we have in California, then, is a proof of concept. Yes, Obamacare is workable — in fact, done right, it works just fine.

I would still like to see how much of the problem on Healthcare.gov was a result of DDOS attacks, since there is now some clear evidence that happened, fomented by right-wing web sites.

And we know ALEC is still seeking ways to undermine OBamacare, including pushing state legislation that might strip licenses of insurance companies that participated in the program   - although I suspect that any such attempt would create a devastating backlash, including from the insurance companies, for as Krugman notes

one shouldn’t forget that the insurance industry has a big financial stake in the success of Obamacare, and will soon be pitching in with big efforts to sign people up.

California - and red state Kentucky - show that properly administered Obamacare can work, that people want better access to health insurance.

No, we do not all live in states that have chosen to make the process work.

But the kinks in healthcare.gov are being worked out.

More and more people are able to sign up.

And the subsidies are making MEANINGFUL health insurance more affordable than ever.

The question is whether the mainstream media will dig below the surface and the rhetoric to tell the real story.

In the meantime, we have models that show the approach does work.

As Krugman concludes,

Again, Obamacare’s rollout was a disaster. But in California we can see what health reform will look like, beyond the glitches. And it’s going to work.

Robert Reich on the Latest Republican Attacks on the ACA

"Having failed to defeat the Affordable Care Act in Congress, to beat it back in the last election, to repeal it despite more than eighty votes in the House, to stop it in the federal courts, to get enough votes in the Supreme Court to overrule it, and to gut it with outright extortion (closing the government and threatening to default on the nation’s debts unless it was repealed), Republicans are now down to their last ploy."
