The Fed has been and is a failure. Lovers of Big Government and apologists for debt like Paul Krugman have tried to paint Milton Friedman as a contradiction. They say that Friedman’s insight that more Fed intervention might have mitigated the Great Depression is inconsistent with his view that the Depression would have been ... MORERand Paul: Milton Friedman And Restraint
The Fed has been and is a failure. Lovers of Big Government and apologists for debt like Paul Krugman have tried to paint Milton Friedman as a contradiction.

MOREThe Police State Mindset In Our Public Schools
by John W. Whitehead. Once upon a time in America, parents breathed a sigh of relief when their kids went back to school after a summer’s hiatus, content in the knowledge that for a good portion of the day their kids would be gainfully occupied, out of harm’s way and out of trouble.

of money, readers of that linked article might notice something odd—the
driver was let go, but the money was kept by the cops. The unnamed

Why folks are deciding to renounce American citizenship. President Obama promised he would unite the world…and he’s right. Representatives from dozens of nations have bitterly complained about an awful piece of legislation, called the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), that was enacted back in 2010. They despise this ... MORERuling: NY Police's 'Stop-And-Frisk' Tactics Violates Rights
Court points out the obvious to NY Mayor Bloomberg. In a stinging rebuke to the Bloomberg administration, a federal judge ruled on Monday that the New York City Police's "stop and frisk" crime-fighting tactics violate the constitutional rights of minorities, despite claims by the mayor and police commissioner that it has driven down rates ... MORERonald Bailey: The Top 5 Bogus Health Scares
