Check Out The Drastic Price Increases On These 21 Items
It's not just gas! Tuesday’s presidential debate touched on some massive economic issues
that are affecting all Americans. The immense increase in gas prices was
a crucial part of the discussion, but have other everyday products seen
a drastic increased in price over the same time period? According to
Blaze research on data provided by the ... MOREThe Unstoppable March Toward National Bankruptcy
by Mark Henderson. The opening line of the Beatles’ iconic “Sergeant Pepper’s” album is echoing in my thought: “It was 20 years ago today…” Well, not quite to the day, but 20 years ago I published an article titled, “$4 Trillion and Counting.” In it, I despaired at the rapid increase in the national debt from its first-ever crossing of the $1 trillion ...

Ralph R. Reiland: We're Going Backward
Obama keeps saying we're moving forward. They say the economy is moving in the right direction, that we should stay the course, that it takes time to pull out of the recession that began in late 2007. In fact, things are getting worse. The economy was creating 153,000 new jobs per month last year. That dropped during the first seven months ... MOREBaylen Linnekin: Is Organic Food A Waste Of Money?
New study challenges conventional wisdom. Everyone knows by now that organic foods are aren’t objectively superior to their conventional counterparts. Right? Exactly. Many of us have been told for years that organic food was healthier (for people, streams, bees, cows, Gaia, etc.) than conventional alternatives. But others have disagreed. ... MOREKatie Kieffer: RINOS Play FarmVille
Farming is a game to RINOS (Republicans In Name Only). But farming is not a game. Not in America. We are the world’s No. 1 exporter of wheat, corn and soybeans. If we mess up, global food prices soar, livestock die, and streets erupt in riots. The GOP is supposed to be the party that “gets” economics. Republicans pride themselves ... MOREJury Nullification May Be Only Hope For Raw Milk Farmer
by Dan Flynn. We are going to have to wait a little longer to see if supporters of Wisconsin raw milk dairy farmer Vernon Hershberger can pull off a rarely used legal maneuver called jury nullification. Sauk County Judge Guy Reynolds has moved the start of the Hershberger jury tail to Jan. 7, 2013. Evidence and witness lists are due Oct. 19, and the final ... MOREMoms Risk Arrest To Take Stand For Voluntary Exchange
by Adam Helfer. Two groups of activists known as the ‘Raw Milk Freedom Riders’ and ‘Lemonade Freedom Day’ are taking their raw milk and lemonade to the lawn of the US Capitol to celebrate what they call their right to voluntary exchange. Recent shut downs of children's lemonade stands and swat-style raids on small farmers have inspired ... MOREJazz Shaw: Ethanol Plant Reopens Despite Massive Drought
Food dries up, but tax dollars keep flowing. Not too long ago, we took a look at the effect the drought is having on the nation’s farmers, particularly those producing corn. The situation isn’t improving, as is being widely reported, and the farmers are in dire straights. Prices are rising for not only corn for the dinner table, but all the other ... MOREJeffrey Folks: End The Ethanol Madness
Time to inject a kernel of reality. Economists are warning that the current drought in the Corn Belt is going to result in higher food prices. That increase will hit consumers hard, reducing discretionary spending and further weakening an already fragile economy. With every scorching day that passes, the catastrophe mounts. But, as usual, the president is AWOL. ... MOREThe Sickening Nature Of Many Food-Safety Regulations
Food-safety regulations don't always mean safer food. Nearly 18 months after passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act, a landmark piece of legislation that granted new powers and authority to the FDA, the legislation is still mired in congressional debates over how to fund it. If this status update sounds familliar, it's with good reason. The FSMA ... MOREEd Krayewski: Top 5 Pieces Of Good News In The Bad News
Tired of bad news? Just look at it differently. Bad news is nothing new. Just think of the scene in Network where Faye Dunaway flips through the New York Daily News, or watch Bill Hicks’ stand up routine about going crazy while watching the bad news on CNN. “War, Famine, Death, AIDS, Homeless, Recession, Depression,” as Hicks chanted, seems to ... MOREAnti-Obesity Efforts Are Fattening Government
by Julie Gunlock. Left unchecked, 42 percent of American adults will be obese by 2030. That was the headline grabbing conclusion of a 400-plus page report released by the Institute of Medicine (IoM) last month, which also found that two-thirds of adults and one-third of children are already overweight or obese. Yet the federal government has ... MORE
