A. Barton Hinkle: The Bipartisan War On Individual Liberty

Politicians of both parties want to restrict your freedom. The good people at Gallup perform a valuable public service by keeping track of what Americans consider the nation's most important problem.

Peter Ferrara: The Last Nail In The Keynesian Coffin

The only useful function of Obamanomics. Keynesian economics is the false vision of human action which says the way to promote economic recovery and renewed growth is through increased government spending, deficits and debt.  If that sounds nuts, that’s because it is. The idea is that the increased government spending and deficits will increase ...
