Neel Kashkari

Neel Kashkari made a big speech this weekend at the California Republican Party's convention. It was meant to do two things: shore up his base and project a vision of a moderate party that could face California's future challenges. These goals are diametrically opposed to each other.

California Republican gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari did a stunt spending a week homeless in Fresno looking for a job, then wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal. It turns out — shock! — that getting a job isn't as easy as asking for one, and — double shock! — relying on our patchwork safety net doesn't exactly deliver results or human dignity.
