Schwartz Senior Fellow Peter Beinart has a provocative take on the United States' response to the earthquake in Haiti: "There’s a reason President Obama’s response to catastrophe has been so much better than Bush’s. It helps to believe in the power of government to aid lives."
Is it really as simple as liberals caring more about disaster relief than conservatives do? Beinart, the author of The Good Fight: Why Liberals--And Only Liberals--Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again, will be taking questions in this week's New America / Politico web chat. Please join us Tuesday, Jan. 19, at noon ET / 9am PT. You may submit questions in advance using the comment field below, or simply return to this page on Tuesday to join in the conversation.
