    Ladies and Gentlemen: Jonah Goldberg (and every other cheap suit winger opinion page pundit)

    I can't stand the sunrise cuz the light gets in my eyes.

    But worse yet is the sunset cuz I can't see without the light.

    Goldberg's clunker?

    Re "Backfire from the clunkers," Opinion, Aug. 4

    Jonah Goldberg has been one of the most strident critics of federal spending to stimulate the economy. Now that Washington has created a program that actually succeeds in doing so, he grouses that it's not really a success at all.

    His primary argument is that the "cash for clunkers" program is enticing people to unwisely spend money better used on other things or saved for the future. What happened to the Jonah Goldberg who fondly parrots the free-market mantra that consumer spending is the engine that drives the economy? I suppose that if the environmental upside of replacing older cars with newer, more fuel-efficient ones doesn't matter to you, that aspect of the program isn't a success either.

    Maybe someday Goldberg will concede that big government can sometimes get things right. But I'm not holding my breath.
