THE DANGEROUS LEFT: How WWII began and why.
FEDERAL RESERVES ROLE: Where's Milton Freidman's computer?Freidman fmously remarked (in jest?) that the FRS should be replaced with a programmed growth percent in a computer. What's wrong with that idea?
PIKETTY HAS FACTS WRONG: At least according to Robert Murphy
THERE'S A LOT HERE THAT MEETS THE EYE: Michael Walsh has more right than wrong here.
I cannot say I agree with all the points Walsh makes here (description of Libertarians is off, for example, and Iraq/Afghanistan wars were excusable, under the circumstances) but in the main he gets a lot right. The Legislature must assert itself and take back its prerogatives. Far too much power has been delegated by it to the other branches of the government. Reign both other branches in, should be the new mantra. HOWEVER, to accomplish this we need major reforms in the legislature itself. The concept of the "professional" lawmaker has got to go. Since when did it become a good idea for politics to become a profession and a career. Very strict term limits are needed, plus putting a stop to the revolving door for politicians to seamlessly move from lawmaker to lobbyist and back. Next let's find a way to limit the number of lawyers in the body politic, for God's sake. Let's have more businessmen, more practical sorts, more variety to represent all factions of the general population. Demagogues should be shunned from the public square. All this has to start with how we get our news and the sources that provide it. Corporate news providers for profit like Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, need to be held strictly accountable for their management of this vital public service. Given the First Amendment, this is a touchy subject, but one that needs thought because these organizations are subtly, and dangerously skewing the news in ways that are not in the public interest. One example: The "protection" of Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama over the serial lies about the cause of the Benghazi raid and death of four Americans. Democrat Party supporting news agencies from CBS to the NYTimes failed to get at the truth of what happened there and in fact enabled the Democrats to obfuscate the facts to the point Barak Obama won a second term when in fact he should have been held accountable. This is outrageous and demonstrates the uselessness of these corporate news agencies as responsible reporters of the facts and circumstances of events that affect lives. There's more, much more that needs to be done to protect the interests of all the people and turning the reigns of government over to corrupt political parties will not get it done.
THE CONSERVATIVE CREED: Sign me up for all these reforms and return to sanity.

HOW BLACKS WERE BETRAYED BY DEMOCRATS: It's now a vicious circle of dependency, voting for democrats, more dependency, etc, etc.
AN INSIGHT.There's truth here.
A BOOK TO READ: Sounds very interesting.
