What Would an Independent California Look Like?
Dan Mitchell, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, outlines some of the ways independence would force Californians to face reality. Of course they’ll target the middle class.

Look What Happens When You Starve the Government Beast
Dan Mitchell, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, has developed a Golden Rule for starving the government beast. His common sense, easily remembered Golden Rule for government fiscal policy is, “The private sector should grow faster than the government.” Simple right?
