Conservative Indoctrination

A nice article on some trends of past financial problems and what we can expect coming out of our current situation.  It is a long article so for your sake I will include my favorite part here.  I found it funny.

This reminds me of an old joke: Keynes was once giving a lecture and noticed that one of his students had fallen asleep. So Keynes asked him a direct question, which woke him up. The startled student responded: “I’m sorry, Mr. Keynes, I didn’t hear the question. But the answer is that we need more stimulus.”

Nice little article from the Mises Institute that doesn’t take the same approach that much of the media is currently taking since the House passage of the health-care bill.

Living in the number 2 most affordable and number 3 overall.

This is a perfect example of how government intrusion creeps and creeps until the next thing you know, they control everything.  Sure lets put a tax on soda to make people healthier.  Next thing we know, they will be attempting to control the food market and what can be sold in grocery stores.  This is laughable to see because they have no scientific evidence to support whether or not increasing the price of soda will curb the consumption by the consumer.  I know that I wouldn’t stop drinking my diet pepsi and fresca because it costs a buck more.

This is just another example of the baby steps government takes towards control.  Let me decide for myself what I want to eat and drink.  Stay out of my refrigerator.

I normally only post on politics, but this was too good to pass up.  If I had this dog I would wrestle with it everyday for a workout.

Harry Reid is continuing to show the American people that he fully incapable of being the majority leader let alone a United States Senator.  While on the Senate floor promoting his new $15 billion jobs bill, Senator Reid argued that the Senate needed to pass this bill because unemployed men were beating their wives.  His claim is one that suggests there is a correlation between unemployment rates and domestic abuse.  As every good statistician will tell you, correlation does not prove causation.  It is deplorable to watch our elected representatives saying anything and everything under the sun just to get their bills passed.  Whats worse is the fact that Senator Reid said this with no statistical data to back it up, it was just a general observation by him.  This goes to show that there are a lot of people out there who will say anything, not matter if it is true or not, just to try to make themselves look good.  Well, I guess Senator Reid will soon become a perpetrator of domestic abuse seeing how he will be out of a job come this November.

A nice speech given by Ron Paul this year at the Conservative Political Action Conference.  Scroll down to view video.
