John Stossel looks back at the type of year it has been for Liberty in his piece at Real Clear Politics: This wasn’t a great year for liberty. A few disasters that government caused: –Obamacare. It was supposed to “bend the cost curve” downward. The central planners had lots of time to perfect their scheme. […]
Retired Bus Drivers Lose $25 Million
Here’s another disgraceful example of public trust being kicked to the curb. In this case we have the former head of the MBTA pension fund Karl E. White. He left his job running the pension to work for a New York hedge fund. At his new post he was able to persuade his old friends […]
Robbing Americans Blind in Washington
Merry post-Christmas to you all. While you are enjoying Christmas, it is beneficial to be ready to come out of the gates fast in the New Year with a goal of sweeping the decks clean in the mid-term elections.

Most Americans appear to have little perspective as to how bad things are fiscally in the U.S. Cato Institute’s Doug Bandow runs through the arithmetic of what is an ever-building U.S. fiscal time bomb. Mr. Bandow’s picture is not a pretty one.
Obama’s Christmas Gift to Americans—A Bag of Broken Glass

Neocons Unglued
Fred Barnes is a smart guy and a good speaker. John Stossel is also a smart guy and a good speaker. The average American, I believe, will take the Barnes position in the debate presented.
