“Privileges are things granted to one individual by another, higher-ranking, individual. For example, in my house my children’s use of the family car is a privilege.”

To my esteemed classmate: I give us about 15 more years in the driver’s seat; by then, I sure hope someone in the house outranks us.

As usual, Larry Lindsey sorts through the rhetoric to provide insightful analysis that the average American can understand. Excellent job!

Careful, Larry. Those who worship at the foot of big government get nervous around facts.

Yet another excellent, insightful piece, Larry. I sent it out to dozens of associates when it appeared yesterday on wsj.com. Keep up the great work!

Larry,

Your analysis is flawed in so many ways.
