Tonight on The Independents: The Road to Hell

Friday night episodes of The
Independents
are organized around a theme. Tonight’s
installment (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with
re-airs three and five hours later) is all about how the best of
intentions have often paved the road to policy hell, as this Reason
TV video (which will be excerpted in the program) reminds us:

Among the policies to be highlighted: Affordable housing
initiatives and affirmative action (which will be discussed by
National Review Online contributor Deroy
Murdock
), ethanol and Obamacare (broken down by our own
Peter
Suderman
), prohibitions on various vices (declaimed by Reason
contributor
Thaddeus Russell), TARP
and stimulus (defended by former congressman
Anthony Weiner
), the Iraq War (explained by former Army Major
General Paul
Eaton
), and federal education policy (Cato’s Andrew
Coulson
).
