With two years late (!), I just read this text . It states that Sen. Hillary Clinton supported a proposal to make real the famous "Petition of the Candle" by Frédéric Bastiat, one of the most famous parodies of economics.
Last month, Sen.. Hillary Rodham Clinton and nine colleagues (ranging from Barbara Boxer to Tom Coburn) Endorsed a petition from - you guessed it - the domestic candlemaking industrie Asking the secretary of commerce to impose a 108.3 percent tariff on Chinese candle Producers.
Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes!
