IDOE–Shrinking State Power to Expose Your Tender Underbelly (UPDATE)
by Douglas Storm
[UPDATE in the body of the text]
Indiana is at the forefront of a concerted and aggressive drive to weaken state power. That sounds good to so many of us, especially those who believe there is a libertarian with a good heart out there. But here’s the trick. The agents of the state of the terms of Mitch Daniels (at least) have worked to make the State itself an onerous body that commits one bad act after another. The government that hates government is in charge of the government. In turn, the people hate the state as well and scream for liberty and freedom and so approve of the measures the state offers for “choice” such as voucher systems and selling public schools to corporate charter
