Some Good Friday Editorials

1. "A Case Against the Case Against Walmart," by Art Carden in the Washington Examiner.  Critics of Walmart have the burden of proof. 

2. "Mr. Obama, Tear Down Those Union Posters," by Diana Furchtgott-Roth in the Washington Examiner, about the NLRB requirement for employers to put up 11-by-17-inch posters informing workers of their right to unionize.
 
3. "The Great Recession and Government Failure," by Gary Becker in the WSJ. When comparing the performance of markets to government, markets look pretty darn good.

4. Review of "The Fall of the Faculty: The Rise of the All-Administrative University and Why It Matters," in the WSJ.   Professors once ran university affairs largely by themselves. Now they are at the mercy of proliferating 'deanlets.' The enormous investment in administrative bloat has not translated into a better college education.
 
5. 'Green Jobs' vs. Real Energy Jobs, by Steve Moore in the WSJ. For every two cents of tax subsidies for 'Big Oil,' wind and solar get nearly $1. The environmentalists are for any energy source.... except those that actually work.
 
6. "It's Time to Repeal the Minimum Wage," by Gary Wolfram in the Detroit News. It's time that we restored one of our fundamental freedoms - to negotiate wages for unskilled labor without government interference.
