John Dendahl's column in the Albuqujerque Journal this morning reprises his usual themes, the loudest of which is that any economic policy other than what he espouses is socialism.
No surprise there.
Dendah's argument, however, that a higher minium wage would produce outsourcing of American jobs is not just funny but dishonest.
Outsourcing, after all, is strong and growing even as business enjoys a low federal minimum wage that has fallen far behind inflation. Even proponents of outsorucing agree it is prompted by the kind of global economics now popular.
No surprise, either, that Dendahl should obfuscate. A former chair of the New Mexico Republican Party, he is a partisan.
This raises the question, can you be partisan and intellectually honest?
It's a question newspaper editors ought to ponder, as they try tos erve the public interest on their editorial and Op Ed pages.
