Walter Williams is one of my favorite economists. He writes for the layperson, avoiding jargon but not common sense. It is truly a shame that more people don’t understand what he conveys below. Many that do are Democrats who pretend to “care,” but do little more than advance their own political careers at the cost of ruining lives. (Emboldening not [...]

standard Another Golf Match With Putin
This was previously published in September of last year. It may be even more relevant today as the disaster of leadership crumbles in front of our eyes: President Obama obviously loves golf. He plays it regularly, more often than any other president with the possible exception of Eisenhower. I play golf. My assessment of Obama and the game of golf [...]
standard The Impeachment Issue
The question of the day, at least in my mind, was the question of the day four years ago. When will the Democrats turn on Barack Obama? Even the most cynical among us regarding political ethics and integrity know there is some point when the supporters turn. Bruce Bialosky discussed this issue in an excellent piece: We are all guilty [...]
standard Our Fifth Best President
Chicago gangsters are pretty tough, but not as tough as Russian gangsters. Pretty-boy Obama is finding that out when dealing with Putin. Nothing Obama has touched has gone well. Domestically our economy is in shambles. Five years after a recession was declared over, it still is not over and there are few signs of recovery. There are more signs we may [...]
standard Keynesian Political Economy Is Theft
The plague of our time is Keynesian economics. It has destroyed the economics profession and enabled the political class to obtain powers never intended. Keynesian economics provided the intellectual cover for the criminal class we politely call “government” to plunder its citizenry. In the beginning, clear-thinking, independent economists (not dependent on government largess) expressed objections to this “new economics.” There was [...]
standard How The US Paper Tiger Crumbles
The Statists who take pride and comfort in the US being the world’s foremost military power (which others see as bullying) seem not to notice how unsustainable this condition truly is. History teaches us that all empires die from within. All extend themselves beyond what they can support. The US is no different. Nations before and after Rome rose and [...]
standard A Hundred Trillion or So
Economist Lawrence Kotlikoff has been warning anyone who will listen about the true indebtedness of the US government. Despite what you are told and likely believe, the problem is substantially bigger than government presents it as. But, isn’t that always the case with information provided by government? Kotlikoff calculates the present value of government obligations to be $205 Trillion! This [...]
standard American Exceptionalism
Zerohedge captures the essence of government today: It would appear there is one thing the USA is still exceptional at (given snowboarding is off the table)…
standard Government Lies About The IRS Scandal
Government lies. Often! As matters become more dangerous for government, the lies increase. The IRS non-scandal scandal is real! So too are the other so-called non-scandals. Government at practiced by current administrators considers itself immune to law, ethics or morality. It is a government bent on the acquisition of power regardless of the means used. Listen to Cleta Mitchell detail [...]
standard Tyranny Is Winning
To understand the tyranny now being practiced by our government upon fellow citizens, I encourage you to watch this testimony to Congress. We are turning into a lawless nation, ruled by tyrants.
standard Mafia Government?
Bill Tatro wrote an article entitled ”Obama — A Well-known Weakling On The World Stage.” It is worth reading. His description of the perplexing aspects of Republican behavior and its ineptness was particularly interesting: What’s most intriguing is not the skill level of the world leaders in exploiting Obama’s weakness for their own advantage, but the total ineptness of the Republican [...]
standard Bastiat on The Law
One of the truly great pamphlets ever penned was “The Law” by Frederic Bastiat in 1850. For anyone who wants to understand the criminality of government, this work is highly recommended. It is short and readable. It is also available free on-line or in print form for a modest fee. It is a primer on liberty and how government uses [...]
