We had just received envelopes containing information about the local election. Not just simple reminders, but the actual voting cards, which we could fill out and send back in an enclosed envelope. Absolutely perfect, not having to meet up at an over-crowded hall smelling of sweaty old men. “Hey, hunny [...]

I have been critiquing Barry Eichengreen’s unprincipled attack on Ron Paul and his demand for a return to the gold standard, but, so far, I have danced around the real question posed by this vicious hit piece. Eichengreen’s argument is not about whether or not Ron Paul’s ideas can be [...]

99ers, how do you think this happened: “Corp profits account for 92% of growth in real national income.” . A recent study by a team of economists at Northeastern University’s Center for Labor Market Studies argues that the current economic recovery is the worst since World War II for worker [...]

If anyone follows what I have written for Little Green Footballs or United Liberty, you’ll know I was pretty harsh on Ron Paul’s son Rand, who is now the Senator elect for the state of Kentucky. While in Washington D.C., a Kentuckian of high rank in a libertarian organization told [...]
