Cash For Gold (8 comments) Please define “sustainable” also tell me if you mean long or short term. Every time there is a significant trend in the financial realm someone tells us that this is a new para dyne. Phooey, this is just supply and demand from Econ 101. [...]	WDW 2010-01-03 08:34:07

A Market Based Approach? (4 comments) The ruling elites in Garner or North Carolina or the United States or the world are always at work attempting to rig the market system in their favor at the expense of the local, state or national taxpayers and market participants.

WSJ on Mises’ B-Cycle (1 comments) At last Mises is getting the recognition he so rightfully deserves. Unfortunately this results from the collapse of the economy that he so correctly predicted.

Libertarianism and the State (8 comments) Whoa, Skippy! Slow down. I didn’t say I was “against” anarchy. I said I didn’t think it was viable and we would end up back with a state. I certainly didn’t say anything about endorsing or supporting the current system. Your preaching to the choi [...]	Gerard Leary 2009-11-04 17:39:36

Can’t Find A Morning Show (2 comments) I have exactly the same complaint. There is no good morning TV news program. Although, there is no good evening one either. I use the web for most news but do enjoy the BBC. They at least delve into a topic. They once had an update on world malaria t [...]	Gerard Leary 2009-11-04 11:02:47

Distress Index Updated (1 comments) The methodology for calculating the unemployment rate has been “adjusted” repeatedly to make one administration or another look better. If you use the current U-6 number of 17%, the index is driven considerably up. A change in methodology only a few [...]	Billll 2009-10-30 10:20:22
The Dark Side of Privatization (5 comments) I have been involved in privatizations in South America, Europe and Asia.

Stimulus Breakdown (1 comments) Government seldom does anything that is not a failure since the purpose of government is to exercise power not to create anything of value.

Obama Administration Ends Medical Marijuana Crackdown (3 comments) Fed agents don’t bust tiny-amount users. This is a bit of circus designed to quiet people’s dissent. Fed agents care about volume users, and while I know some serious potheads, not a single one uses enough to gain the attention of the DEA/DOJ. N [...]	CFOxtrot 2009-10-20 20:11:12

Post-Clunker Slump (1 comments) The post-cash for clunkers drop in car sales is not surprising.

Missing the Point (3 comments) What can one expect from an establishment ruling elite propaganda newspaper such as The New York Times?

A World Superpower. So what? (7 comments) John – Your reaction is not surprising. No government worker wants to feel as it his or her endeavors were wasted.
