I Knew Ezra Klein, I Worked With Ezra Klein, and Senator, You're No Ezra Klein

And then, just as I get my rant on, Ezra goes and posts this. So I'm thinking that he, like me, is coming down firmly on the side of saying that he doesn't need to justify his policy preferences by making up data that shows it will improve the economy. There are many ways to do what is good for people, and offering them, if not requiring them, the option to work a little less, isn't necessarily such a bad one.
