Robert Higgs, Like His Namesake Boson, Has Zero Spin

He pretty much just tells it exactly like it is every time. Like this:

Anyone who pays the slightest attention to politics knows that politicians are inveterate liars; many would sooner lie than speak truthfully even if the truth did not thwart their purposes, because lying would be more congenial to their true, dishonest character. ... To perceive any fixed and reliable link between what the candidates promise and what they deliver in office would be wildly counterfactual.
