Wow, it’s almost as if, left to their own devices, most will do good things with the money they have legitimately generated in ways the government could have never, ever achieved. This is an example to those who believe the rich are only but exploiters who need coercive regulations and taxation in order to do [...]

Most fiscally responsible people know that relying on “credit” is a dubious sort of thing to do. It leads to overspending, underutilizing, and it tends to promote living beyond one’s means.

My knowledge of economies of scale, of recent financial crises, and of what needs to be done to ensure self-sustaining microeconomies is minimally theoretical at best with practical aspects not nuancing my ideology to any great degree.

The Package and the Lesson
By: Barry Belmont
For those of you attending the University of Nevada, Reno. If you haven’t already heard, the president of the ASUN,* Eli Reilly, has proposed a “stimulus package” for UNR. The idea is for $200,000 to be spent over two years that “will create 50 new student jobs on campus.” If this isn’t the definition of [...]
