So who emerged as the winner of the fiscal cliff deal?
Big government.
Everyone, including the middle class that Obama is supposedly “saving,” has lost.
The entire fiscal cliff debacle was about one thing, and one thing only. It was a question of morality. Do people want to take responsibility for themselves, or do they [...]
Here are my unedited first thoughts as I was watching the debate last night: Why does the it matter if there is increased production on federal or private land?
Lol a Democrat candidate just said “clean coal.” This implicit “jobs are good” rhetoric is terrible. Efficient allocation of resources (including labor) is good not [...]
Picture this:
An organization that has been described by many as a fourth branch of government, although it is technically independent from the government, controls all of the United States monetary policies in secret. When something that it does goes into effect, people know about. However, no one really knows anything about the deliberations that [...]
Well, it’s here. QE3. The third round of stimulus by the federal reserve. They will be purchasing $40 billion of mortgage debt per month for an open-ended number of months.

It’s incredibly amusing that Obama would publicly give himself an incomplete when back in 2009 he said he would have [...]
The U.S. Republican Party has unfortunately achieved a reputation of being a misogynistic political party. This is largely a consequence of its many members’ desire to ban contraceptives and abortion.
Some people see these actions as misogynistic attempts to control a woman’s body. These actions, however, are not misogynistic because Republicans’ actions aren’t motivated by [...]
Have you noticed how every presidential debate consists of only two candidates – the Democrat and the Republican? Where are the big third party candidates? Doesn’t it make sense to at least include some? Everyday an MSNBC anchor spits out – “Obama is so amazing”, and someone on Fox news yells – [...]
As a former resident of Joplin, Missouri, I am irritated, to the say the least, by the recent acts of arson against the Islamic Society building. It isn’t too surprising, though, since events like this have been occurring across the country. The main problem, though, is that politicians are encouraging it. I’m [...]
