Katherine Kersten's Korner

Kersten's latest kolumn is about the series on debt I posted about yesterday. She blames the lack of "virtue" for the problem and suggests sitting down with grandparents to figure it out.

Wingnuttia Level: 2 (Beware of hidden agendas)

True, the fact that people of all ages today have the mentality that they "deserve" the latest and greatest is a big issue. But where is the talk about the "virtue" of not having seven kids and sending them to private schools? Is that responsible? Is that "virtuous"? There is more here than just more "government programs", but as usual Kersten just picks the facts that she can use to bolster her ideology.

As an aside, it looks like Kersten has a blog now and people can comment on her stories. Interesting.
