Perry's comments on George W. Bush's economically illiterate steel tariffs below are surely a reminder that conservatives (with a large or small c) are often the worst defenders of free enterprise.

How on earth can Dubya, for whom I have a fair amount of respect, talk about free markets any more with a straight face? Looks like the worst kind of vote-grubbing measure to me. Clearly bound to have an adverse impact on other sectors of the economy as well as sour relations with other parts of the world.

Bush has given the euro-weenies a stick to beat him with - and this time they have right on their side. Bush's move is clearly related to next November's Congressional elections. George, get a copy of Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson" and wise up!
