Mark Steyn: The Supercommittee Is A Joke
Finding savings by ... adding to deficit? Have you been following this so-called supercommittee? They're the new superhero group of superfriends from the super-Congress who are going to save America from plummeting over the cliff and into the multitrillion-dollar abyss. There's Spender Woman (Patty Murray), Incumbent Boy (Max Baucus), Kept Man (John Kerry) and many other ... MORESheldon Richman: Back To Economic Basics
Understanding the role of human action. Lately I’ve landed in discussions about whether there is such a thing as human action. I’m not kidding. Some educated people have their doubts. Just to be clear from the outset, human action, as Ludwig von Mises pointed out, is purposeful behavior, as opposed to the reflex that occurs when the patellar ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: The Real Cain Scandal
There is no cost to making false allegations. The real scandal in the accusations against Herman Cain is the corruption of the law, the media and politics. Let's start with the law. Some people may think the fact that the National Restaurant Association reportedly paid $45,000 to settle a claim made by one of its employees against Mr. Cain is incriminating. Most of us are ...

Why no one wants to get convicted of jury duty. Recently I spent the morning in a large room at San Francisco’s Hall of Justice along with several hundred others watching Ideals Made Real, the world’s least convincing infomercial. A 14-minute anesthetic that the state of California administers to anxious citizens to ease the pain of imminent ... MORENile Gardiner: Obama Facing Anti-Government Revolution
Three polls that give Americans hope for change. Three major polls this week will give a jittery White House cause for concern. The first, from ABC News/Washington Post shows a significant rise in public anger towards the federal government. The second, from The Wall Street Journal/ NBC, shows overwhelming disillusionment with President Obama’s handling of the ... MOREVIDEO: Steven Crowder Hobnobs With The Occupiers

John Stossel: The FDA Kills
It would be nice if politicians and regulators left us alone. But they don't. They always want to do more. Recently, there have been shortages of some medicines. Cancer patients can't get drugs they need. Why not? One reason is that a big drugmaker shut down for a year in part to meet Food and Drug Administration rules. The FDA makes it so expensive and difficult to sell ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Does The Government Work For Us?
Or do we work for the government? In America, the federal government seems to control everything. Light bulbs, shoe leather, refrigerators, even the water strength in your shower. Your banker, your doctor, your lawyer, your computer all are regulated beyond belief. What is it in America that the feds can't control? The answer is simple: human ... MOREAllen B. West: Economic Freedom For Black Americans
When will black Americans finally be "free at last?" The word "freedom" for many black Americans is inextricably linked with the word "slavery." While it has been 148 years since the Emancipation Proclamation, and 47 years since the landmark Civil Rights Act, for many, the words of Martin Luther King in his famous speech still ring true: "The Negro lives on a ...

Gene Healy: Obama's Solyndra Silence
President hides from green energy boondoggle fallout.

Solyndra is one of the administration's pet "green energy" ... MORERobert P. Murphy: Understanding The Price Of Money
On purchasing power. In a money economy, the money commodity is on one side of every transaction, and hence reduces the number of relevant prices. The direct exchange ratio between any two commodities can easily be computed from their respective money prices. The "price" or purchasing power of money is the array of goods and services for which a unit of ... MORERichard A. Epstein: Three Cheers For Income Inequality
More taxes on the top one percent means fewer jobs. The 2008 election was supposed to bring to the United States a higher level of civil discourse. Fast-forward three years and exactly the opposite has happened. A stalled economy brings forth harsh recriminations. As recent polling data reveals, the American public is driven by two irreconcilable ... MOREWalter E Williams: Ignorance Exploited
Workers bear up to 75 percent of the corporate tax. Many Wall Street occupiers are echoing the Communist Party USA's call to "Save the nation! Tax corporations! Tax the rich!" There are other Americans, on both the left and the right — for example, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner — who call for reductions in corporate taxes. But the ... MORE
