My GMU Econ colleague Alex Tabarrok has some data on how much time criminal convicts really spend in prison.

Wall Street Journal columnist Dan Henninger wisely advises us to laugh at – and to fear – the socialism that is now all the rage among so many Americans. A slice:

This means the next Democratic administration, and that would include a Biden administration, will sit to the left of the Obama presidency, which itself was a distinct ideological break from all the party’s left-of-center presidencies since World War II.
