Monday link dump: Music light and gay

• Reason's Nick Gillespie interviews Chris Lehmann about Lehmann's "Rich People Things."
• Don't ask, don't tell and "standing for nothing."
• So long, Medicaid. It was nice of you to try to keep poor people alive for a while, but now you are too expensive.
• Do deficits matter? Sort of.
• No one talks about poverty, at all. And what is being done to help alleviate it will probably stop being done.
