One of my favorite economists is Dr. Walter E. Williams, Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He is always able to take the complicated, boil it down, and make it easy to understand. Given that the whole notion of what capitalism and the free marketplace can do (versus the socialistic turn we seem to …
And TreeHugger decided to demonstrate that, with clueless irony, all on their own. Yes, one more from TreeHugger that shows that Environmentalism has really left its roots of DOING environmental work and very much all about getting Big Government and its big teat (and very much, dependent on that teat) to do it instead as …

What the market does is to reduce greatly the range of issues that must be decided through political means, and thereby to minimize the extent to which government need participate directly in the game.

Every year, the Elites of the political, economic, and cultural worlds gather in Davos, Switzerland to talk about global ‘stuff’ – what’s trending, what’s wrong, and their global ways of fixing them what they believe is wrong – for the betterment of us all.

Being beholden to unions causes you to say and do stupid things. Take Carol Shea-Porter for example. She was against a trade deal with Panama because she claimed it would cost American jobs, when it would actually open up trade from us to them–they already had unfettered access; result?–it would have created American jobs.

Democrats continue to insist that they created jobs. To do this they extracted trillions from our economic future in an effort to create jobs that did not yet exist–that perhaps were not needed yet. Looking at similar exercises, cash for clunkers–which moved car sales forward a few months but has since resulted in a collapse …
