This is further proof that both Republicans and Democrats are, to put it kindly, totally ignorant of some of life's basic facts, and even common sense. Both sides want it to be compulsory for insurance companies to be forced to insure people with "pre-existing conditions." Think about that one, with ...

Iceland is a mess. Total mess. Bankrupt and its currency, the krona, has been abandoned by most people in the world. In Iceland it's lost two thirds of its former value and purchasing power. Iceland is a nation that throughout its long 1100 history-year history has been extremely poor, depending ...

It seems as though history continues to repeat itself. During the first 'great depression,' Herbert Hoover was President at the outset. He instigated the things FDR would later enlarge upon, none of which worked. Now we are in the beginning of the second 'great depression,' and it's almost exactly the ...

First of all, I really believe that we have another FDR on our hands. Obama is a superb orator. With those teleprompters at hand, he is an absolute master. He has a deep, resonant voice, is extremely intelligent, and can read those speeches with total ease and composure. His speech ...

There are so many complications, economics wise, and there shouldn't be, because as Ludwig von Mises once said, defining economics, "People Act." It's just that simple! Examples are everywhere.
