Liberalism Failed, Not Economic Policy

Gary Becker and the Economics Revolution That Wasn’t Economics didn’t fail, liberalism did. The ‘Keynesian resurgence’ failed, predictably so. The left’s solution always boils down to blaming rich people for everything, whether it’s wealth inequality, recession, poverty, low SAT scores, etc. The wealth spreading liberals are losing to the smarties as the Dow makes another… Continue reading Liberalism Failed, Not Economic Policy

America is Still #1

To the disappointment of the left, the fiscal cliff turned out to be a speed bump, sequestration had no negative effect on the economy (also a correct prediction), and Facebook is now 50% higher than its IPO price.

America is Becoming an Oligarchy. So What?

According to the left, unless action is taken, our ‘democracy’ will be lost to the moneyed elites, or the ‘Oligarchy’. But is wealth inequality something to lose sleep over? Not for me, Silicon Valley, or Wall St. The left likes to believe, incorrectly, that America is a democracy, but it’s actually a constitutional republic founded… Continue reading America is Becoming an Oligarchy.

Across the political spectrum, everyone has a solution to reforming education; unfortunately,… Continue reading Some Thoughts on Education
