After two rounds of quantitative easing, unemployment is still above 9% while annual CPI inflation stands at 3.6%. Technically, the U.S. is now facing the prospect of stagflation. Yet, some economists are calling for up to 4% inflation to get the economy moving again. Printing money is not a panacea for the ailing U.S. economy...

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

Why can t the U.S. government ever learn lessons from any of its failed programs? The biggest lesson it fails to learn is the importance of ending programs that are obvious failures, especially ones that are inherently incapable of succeeding. Instead, in its usually bullheaded, headstrong fashion, the government maintains the program and, even worse, actually expands it...

The state against the urban poor

Adam Smith Institute
by Sam Bowman

08/26/11

In the hands of those who know how to use it, the state is a weapon. Planning laws are a good example of its subtle use by powerful interest groups. They effectively control the supply of desirable property, so that the owners of those properties can earn monopolistic profits. As with the barrier-to-entry laws that protect established corporations, planning laws protect property owners...

The return of the smear brigade

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

08/29/11

As the crisis of the American empire lurches into its final stages, and conservatives begin to question the costs of imperialism, the neoconservative counterattack is going into overdrive. When prominent conservatives rose to say, 'Cuts in the defense budget are not ?off the table,?' the neocons began to worry that their formerly iron grip on the 'conservative' brand is beginning to slip.'

Why the mass media is snubbing Ron Paul

Neal Reynolds Nuzcom
by Neal Reynolds

Some might decide it s because he?s (allegedly) a 'fringe candidate' who (allegedly) has no chance of winning. But the truth is precisely the opposite of that: it is because if the media actually gave him equal coverage HE WOULD WIN!

Faiz Shakir, ThinkProgress: 'Following a six-month long investigative research project, the Center for American Progress released a 130-page report today which reveals that more than $42 million from seven foundations over the past decade have helped fan the flames of anti-Muslim hate in America... The report, titled 'Fear Inc.: The Roots Of the Islamophobia Network In America,' lifts the veil behind the hate, follows the money, and identifies the names of foundations who have given money, how much they have given, and who they have given to.'

Understand the Right s Attack on Social Security

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America s Future: 'You hear over and over that Social Security is 'in trouble' or that we 'can t afford it.' This is as far from true as can be, and the idea behind this is to convince people to just give up on defending the program and let the haters have their way. The people who hate Social Security the most are the ones who say they want to make these changes to 'save' it. Well, Bernie Sanders loves the program and has introduced a bill that actually will save it.'

Shamus Cooke, Truthout: 'The world economy is in shambles and about to get worse, according to even mainstream economists. How bad is anybody s guess. Some things, however, are certain: the recovery that politicians have been promising for years existed only in their heads. The reality of the situation is now apparent to millions of people across the globe, who, before, clung to the empty promises of economic recovery. This newfound consciousness will inevitably find expression in the political realm and, more importantly, the streets.'

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: 'If Americans expected some sign of dramatic policy initiatives from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, they were disappointed in Friday s speech. Instead, Bernanke repeated how confident he was in the basic strengths of the US economy... This all amounts to more of the same policies we have been seeing... 'Trickle-down' is indeed the right name for this program: shovel help to the financial top of the economic pyramid and hope it trickles some of its loot down to the mass of businesses and individuals.'
