Inconvenient Debt
Posted by in economics, freaky, government, philosophical, politics on January 31, 2009
Inconvenient Debt | FOXNews.com. While I’m not a fan of mainstream media coverage, this little video clip should help those of you understand what kind of crisis we’re in right now because of the current state of the government.
For a little history, this is exactly the kind of thing that happened in Germany that lead to Hitler’s rise in power. It’s the same thing that Mugabe is doing in Zimbabwe that’s destroying that country. And there’s no reason it can’t happen here–unless we stop the government from destroying our nation.
Washington Logic

Boon or Doggle?

No Stimulus!
Posted by in business, economics, government, philosophical, politics on January 21, 2009
No Stimulus! Pretty self-explanatory. Any government manipulation of the market hurts far more than it helps. If you follow basic logical principles, you can see that no matter how this deal ends up, the poor will be hurt far more than the rich–completely counter to the “common knowledge” that’s out there.
Don’t be stupid. Shout down the special interest groups, and get the government OUT.

“I, Pencil” Revisited
Posted by in business, economics, government, philosophical, politics on January 16, 2009
Foundation for Economic Education » “I, Pencil” Revisited. Another great article.
And if you haven’t read “I, Pencil” yet, you really need to. It’s a great example of how Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” works.

Inflation as Income Distribution
Posted by in business, economics, government, philosophical, politics on January 10, 2009
Foundation for Economic Education » The Goal Is Freedom: Inflation as Income Distribution. All of you Obama lovers that seem to think that his “job creation plan” is going to be a good thing need to read this–and understand it.
The government will not solve our problem–the only way out is to remove government involvement entirely. And the sooner people understand that, the better.
And no, I’m not holding my breath.
