The denial industry.
They have to lie and deny it. It’s their only hope of keeping the bubble inflated.

More Blows For Liberty From SCOTUS
Shockingly to union supporters, a union can’t force someone taking care of her disabled son to pay union dues for the privilege.
And there’s another blow to ObamaCare’s attempt to run our lives:
The 5-4 decision is a significant victory for those challenging the constitutionality of the President Obama’s health care law. And it strengthens the argument that for-profit entities, like individuals and churches, have religious rights.
So you don’t lose your religious freedom because you make a profit.
Huh.
[Update mid afternoon]
The funniest thing on Twitter today, amidst all the illogic, hatred and hysteria, is the number of people who think that @SCOTUSblog is actually SCOTUS’s blog (and Twitter feed) and attacking them. The @SCOTUSblog folks are having a lot of fun with it.
Hillary’s Appeal Is Growing More Selective
UNLV students want her to return or reduce her speaking fee.
I would pay a dime to hear her. I hope this starts a trend.
ObamaCare
SpaceX And Orbcomm
The launch delays are costing money. Note this, though:
Commercial satellite fleet operators have said that with a price differential so large — more than 50 percent in this case — they can absorb the cost of even lengthy SpaceX delays without much trouble.
They’re changing the rules.
NASA Mission Planning
If you want to see how ludicrous SLS is, look at this chart.
That is not a spacefaring civilization.
The Great Walls Of The Midwest
Would these stop tornadoes? And would they be worth the money?
“When You Raise Taxes And Roll Out Burdensome Regulations”
“…a contracting economy is only a surprise if you’re an idiot. Or a member of this Administration and the press. But I repeat myself.”
Based on Megan McArdle’s assessment that the economy is bad news for Democrats (but, again, good news for liberty in the long run).
Deunionize The IRS
This proposal doesn’t go far enough. We need to do it to the entire federal government. Roosevelt recognized the dangers of public-employee unions. They’ve been destroying the country for decades, though.
The Apollo Model
It’s long past time to abandon it.
It’s hard to do, though. Many just can’t imagine any other way to do human spaceflight. And of course, those in Congress don’t want to lose all their opportunities for graft.
