Dollar Continues Advance Towards Worthlessness

Pretty soon the paper that lines your pocketbook will only be good enough to wipe  your behind with. From Philipp Bagus of Mises.com, On Tuesday, March 26, 2012, I was invited by Ron Paul and his staff to assist a meeting of the Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology Subcommittee of the House Committee on Financial Services.

Add ‘Preppers’ to the List of Potential Terrorists

In what seems reminiscent of the good old fashioned communist witch hunts, it turns out your next door neighbor (or even you) could be a terrorist. Didn’t know that? You might be surprised at what else you didn’t know. I wrote about America’s slide from the land of the free and home of the brave, to the … Read more »

At issue is the Constitutionality of the “individual mandate.” The legal complexity of this thing is astounding. But from my (simplistic) view point, the Government coercing a private citizen to purchase a product (insurance) from a private … Read more »
