Antitrust Laws and Regulation: A Boon to Monopolies

February 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Above is a worthy discussion about the anti-consumer / pro big and connected business fraud that is anti-monopoly legislation with Ron Paul. While the video is some 25 years old, the content is perfectly valid today (if not also a testament to the consistency of Ron Paul since then).
A great myth perpetuated by [...]

For What are You Waving the American Flag?

March 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment

“Paul thinks everyone is born an instinctive libertarian, “wanting to be let alone.” Unfortunately, “the school system beats it out of you.” Paul voted both for the ban on partial-birth abortion (a fetus is alive, leave it alone) and against the ban on same-sex marriage (none of the federal government’s business). He refused to [...]

The Pennsylvania Politburo: Skyrocketing Costs and Secrecy

March 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The Pennsylvania Politburo (ok… so officially it is called the General Assembly) is being further exposed being the bloated mess that it really is. The Pittsburgh Trib Review is on top of how the spending for PA politicians to get their work done far exceeds the pace of inflation.
Enablers to this all will [...]

Rendell’s Department of Manna Busy For Holidays

December 18, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Governor Rendell has been hinting that he will announce further suspensions of the basic laws of economic gravity and push for The PA Department of Manna to bestow upon 1 million PA residents more “free” health care!
He will accomplish this feat by suspending the laws of biology with a government edict that will reduce health [...]

Fat Govt Employee Pensions Hang Taxpayers With Costs

December 18, 2006 | Leave a Comment

We’ve talked about the mess before: Fat government unions trade votes and contributions for pensions and other benefits that are far more generous than anything the private sector can afford to offer, and stick the hapless taxpayers with the costs.
Says the Post Gazette,
“The average pension in the two systems for those at normal retirement [...]

Bond Rating Up for Pittsburgh… But other Shoes Will Drop

October 9, 2006 | Leave a Comment

We’re all happy that Pittsburgh has managed to up its horrific bond rating from Moody’s Investor Services - from Baa3 to Baa2– to an average credit risk among most municipalities, and well above that of GM’s (which does not say much…).
However, knowing the degree to which balancing the deficits came with as little cutting-pain as [...]

Government Loses Hundreds of Laptops

September 22, 2006 | Leave a Comment

There was a day when the Census Bureau simply did its constitutionally mandated job: counted the number of people in the U.S. But that went out the window with the shift from a liberty based consensual republic to something completely different: a pseudo nanny state run as a collectivist democracy. To hell [...]

Don’t Mess with the Bosses In Government Gambling

September 11, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Well, I’m personally no fan of gambling, but neither am I a fan of laws that prohibit adults of sound mind making consensual decisions among themselves. That means, as far as I’m concerned, if you want to play a little online blackjack or roulette, it is your business and nobody else’s. Moreover, I [...]
