MICKEY KAUS: “Obama has apparently just endorsed one of the worst ideas of Carter era liberalism, ‘comparable worth,’ which would have lawyers and judges deciding what every job is ‘worth’ according to some bureaucratic, non-market criteria that would inevitably punish ‘unskilled’ manual work–i.e, the very workers who are screwed the most by globalization. Are truckdrivers really paid too much?”

I think Mickey’s losing enthusiasm for Obama.
