The proposed ... MORE3,278 Inmates Serving Life For Nonviolent Offenses
by Jess Remington. The ACLU released a new
report this week examining the growing trend of judges
sentencing nonviolent offenders to life in prison without parole.
The ACLU found, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the War on Drugs,
mandatory minimums, and “tough-on-crime” policies are to blame. The report,
A Living Death: A Life Without Parole ... MORENY Times On Minimum Wage - A Regression In Reasoning
by Mark J. Perry. Here are two different New York Times editorials on the minimum wage, with very different policy conclusions: 1. From 1987, “The Right Minimum Wage: $0.00“: Raising the minimum wage by a substantial amount would price working poor people out of the job market.
A far better way to help them would be to subsidize ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: Freedom And Federalism
Federalism can save First Amendment values. One of the bedrocks of our governmental infrastructure is federalism. This is the constitutional recognition of the legal origins of the United States as a union of independent states. America started, of course, with 13 colonies, which became 13 states, and gradually added 37 ... MORE
Kyle Becker: The Integrity Of The Liberal Media On Display

No such thing as free health benefits. For the millions of Americans who are losing health plans they liked as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the name of that law is a bitter joke.

John Stossel: The Libertarian Era
Liberty rising? I didn't know what a libertarian was when I started reporting. I was just another liberal. I knew the Republicans were icky, and Democrats were more like me — except they didn't care about debt. I had no idea there was an actual movement of thinking people who want to honor the principles of the Founders — liberty and limited ... MOREGreen Ethanol And The Damage It Leaves Behind
Govt mandate does more than drive up corn prices. The hills of southern Iowa bear the scars of America's push for green energy: The brown gashes where rain has washed away the soil.
