I'm torn between
Kling, opining on Health Care:
By and large, Americans reject today's health insurance when they have to pay for it themselves. Of the people who are not on government or employer-provided health plans, the majority choose to be uninsured.
and Cowen,
defending his
VAT position against innumerable antis:
In economics, be suspicious when you read discussions of "whether" rather than "how much" or "with what probability."
or Hanson, on
Mysticism:
We similarly self-deceive today to give ourselves higher and stronger excuses to do what baser motives require. Beware: if you won’t accept and act on your baser motives, your subconscious may well get you to achieve similar ends via self-deceptive delusions. For a better chance at believing the truth, accept your ignoble desires.

Count me among the innumerable. Tyler complained about the lack of probability distributions from his opponents, but I didn't see any figures in his presentation either. Right now, I'm sticking to my gut instinct that adding taxes will be more damaging to long-term liberty interests than a default, and based on Robin's quote, if I do go searching for evidence this is probably where I'll end up anyway.
