According to this understanding, consumers shape the pattern of resource use and the assignment of resource rewards according to their preferences. The outputs being produced at any date, the methods of production being employed, and the ...

Like many of you, the passage of the healthcare bill wasn’t met with the popping of champagne in my house. I found myself chanting “Uncle Sam, Uncle Sham” as the day wore on. Higher taxes and other major changes are headed our way. And yet, I think there’s something in ...

“There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpation.”
— President James Madison
As the United States travels down the long road from the first limited government republic model of our Patriot ...

There is a silver lining to every snowstorm — getting to know your neighbors both good and bad. With forty inches on my block this week, I’ve learned a lot about my neighbors and, strangely enough, socialism.
My corner of Baltimore seems like a good place to ride out a storm. ...

Government-inspired confidence will neither create nor sustain a recovery. It may inspire some enthusiasm. There may be excitement. But, there is a limit to which words will help energize people. Last week’s State of the Union Address will be a supreme example of just that. It was billed as a ...

I'll keep this short and simple. Our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan every day. Yet, Obama appears in no hurry to decide how best to support and protect them. To the contrary, Obama stalls and procrastinates claiming he'd rather do it right, than fast. Meanwhile our sons and daughters die…and ...

I’m calling YOU out, Mr. President. How dare you arrogantly assert that it’s your way or the highway? That Cook County – Chicago trick doesn’t work in the rest of our great country.
You railed against what you called scare tactics and misinformation. Yet you then proceeded to misinform your audience ...
