In this incoherent feature in the WSJ, it’s not hard to come away with a fuzzy view of Senator Paul’s foreign policy position. This, of course, may have been the intent for a publication deeply in bed with the military/industrial complex. On the other hand, the intent simply may have been to update readers on […]

Greetings from the Cato Institute’s Fall Conclave Middleburg, Virginia
Cato’s Richard Rahn, WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan, and our daughter Becky Smith, president of Young Research & Publishing.
Tall Tales from Bill Clinton
The political spin is on for the White House. Mary Anastasia O’Grady writes in the WSJ about Bill Clinton and Haiti, where Mr. Clinton is persona non grata in much of this country. After Hillary spoke recently at an Iowa “steak fry,” Mr. Clinton bragged about his Haiti record. Why? As Ms. O’Grady points out, […]
Bob Levy is Chairman of The Cato Institute
Friends, here are my comments on President Obama’s exercise of powers that, in my view, exceed his constitutional authority. The article appears in the September-October issue of the Cato Policy Report. Regards Bob More than four decades after Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., warned of The Imperial Presidency, our chief executive now boasts, “I’ve got a pen […]
Is Your Data Protected from EMP?
In the past week the Sun showered the Earth with two storms of charged plasma (big storms like these are known as coronal mass ejections or CMEs). Thankfully, neither hit the planet in such a way as to cause global power outages, but each had that potential. In a similar way, a nuclear weapon detonated […]

David Rothkopf […]
You Won’t Believe Your Eyes
Not a video but worth your time. Look at Cato Institute Senior Fellow Dan Mitchell’s comparison of heavily subsidized sectors of the economy vs. those that aren’t. In heavily subsidized sectors, prices are going up. Meanwhile, without government intervention, prices are falling for toys, PCs, TVs, cell phones, etc.

A Dan Mitchell Third-Party Payer Shocker
You simply will not believe your eyes. The Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell in a single display demolishes the argument for third-party payer and subsidies that involve the likes of health care and college tuition and fees. I hope that every free markets, small government Republican, running against the socialist policies of the Obama administration this […]

Neocon bastion and cheerleader John Bolton advises here: “Keeping our troops in Iraq three years ago was the better course, and it is even more true today that our visible, palpable involvement is crucial both militarily and politically.” In that America made a disastrous error in going into Iraq in the first place, any suggestion […]
