With passage of last week’s bill, the American people are now the unhappy recipients of Washington’s disastrous prescription for healthcare “reform.” Congressional leaders relied on highly dubious budget predictions, faulty market assumptions, and outright fantasy to convince a slim majority that this major expansion of government somehow will reduce federal spending. This legislation is just [...]

Health Care and Detroit: Killed By Government (Gary North)
To understand what is going to happen to America’s health care delivery system, we must first understand what has happened to Detroit. Detroit is dying.

Dr. Leviathan Will See You Now (William Norman Grigg)
“I observe a benevolent feeling here…. There is also tenderness…. But, beware, tender hearts! Don’t you know where tenderness leads? To the gas chambers…. Never in the history of the world have there been so many civilized, tenderhearted souls as have lived in this [twentieth] century. Never in the history of the world have so [...]

The Welfare-Warfare Blame Game (Aaron Webb)
All the Republicans up in arms over Obamacare makes me chuckle, but as they say, those living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. People just can’t seem to get that the Republicans and Democrats both got exactly what they wanted. The current health care bill was passed mainly along party lines (219-212) just like the 2003 [...]

Nothing Outside the State (Robert Higgs)
A popular slogan of the Italian Fascists under Mussolini was, “Tutto nello Stato, niente al di fuori dello Stato, nulla contro lo Stato” (everything for the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state). I recall this expression frequently as I observe the state’s far-reaching penetration of my own society. What of any consequence [...]

The Census and the Welfare State (Jacob Hornberger)
The letter that Ralph Groves, director of the U.S. Census Bureau, recently sent to the American people reflects what America has become under the welfare state. Here is what the letter states in part: “Your response is important. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to help each community get its fair share of [...]

CNN Attempt To Portray Patriots As Terrorists Backfires, Segment Fails To Air (Paul Joseph Watson)
You absolutely must check out the video that accompanies this article. Alex Jones completely owns the nitwit who was trying to portray him and other liberty minded groups and individuals as violent extremists. The fact that they decided not to air the segment speaks volumes about their agenda. A CNN Anderson Cooper segment which was set [...]
