Economic recovery is a snap: just ask ALEC

There’s a magic formula for economic prosperity, and the American Legislative Exchange Council is all too happy to share it.

All you have to do is elect a boatload of Republican legislators who’ll play ball with a Republican governor.

OK, ALEC didn’t exactly put it that way. But that big box store for free-market and small-government thinking — offered helpfully under the guise of “model legislation” — implied it clearly enough.

Clearly enough that I don’t mind putting the words in ALEC’s mouth, much in the way that ALEC puts words in the mouths of legislators.
