Belknap County Budgeting – financial hijinks?

By NH State Rep Mike Sylvia Did you ever wonder how politicians use statistics to sell their budgetary schemes?  It’s the same old song and dance; lies, damn lies, and statistics.  Perhaps your daily paper is reporting that the Belknap County Delegation has reduced your tax rate. Yay! Whatever you do, you should ignore the 2018 tax rate … Read more

Blogline of the Day – I know this is right!

Liberty is not possible for an unarmed society. Since lawmakers believe they must be seen to be doing something and bureaucrats must justify their existance, they always do more than they should and, thus, cross over at some point from Governance to Ruling (and yes, there’s a yuge difference between the two). Comments? (H/T: Instapundit)

DISQUS Doodlings: “If we want to make better decisions or do things in our society’s self-interest, we need to be tricked into doing them”

Yeah, Treehugger time again: “Environmentalists aren’t voting. This plan could help”. Environmentalists are shockingly bad at voting. During the 2014 midterm, only 21 percent of environmentalist registered voters actually voted, compared to 44 percent of general registered voters. Environmental problems are, by their very “nature,” large-scale problems that require large-scale solutions. That’s why voting is so important — the government … Read more
