In End The Fed, Ron Paul informs readers that the nineteenth century saw many protests against the national bank system and the attempt to centralize money and credit in a government-sponsored, government-backed institution that operates in complete secrecy.

The Farce of the TSA
“The TSA is very little more than an employment program swelling the ranks of the American Federation of Government Employees, a sure source of Democratic political donations (more than $5 million in recent years; it is the 29th largest single donor in the country), and a platform for patronage,” writes Kevin D.

Big Government’s Failure
“When what you’re doing doesn’t work for 50 years, it’s time to try something new,” said President Obama recently.
