“Epic Fail:” America’s Boomers and Gen-Xers Leave A Legacy Of Foolishness

“Completing this form is a critical start to completing your education,” noted First Lady Michelle Obama.

Yes, It’s A “Major Issue:” The Industrialized World Is Abandoning The U.S.

Vice President Joe Biden announced two days ago that the American people agree with the Democrat party “on every major issue.” Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, but this we can know with certainty: on issues of economics, enterprise, and environmental policy, the other industrialized nations of the world have been moving in the exact opposite direction of President Barack Obama and the U.S. federal government for at least the past two years.

Pursuing Economic “Fairness” Without Understanding Economics

“I just want what is fair for everybody…” If I’ve heard that line once, I’ve heard it hundreds of times on those occasions when I end up discussing business, economic, and public policy issues with members of the clergy. With the uptick in minimum wage worker strikes over the past few months (we saw another “round” of them at Wal-Mart stores this past week), I’ve had these conversations quite frequently.

Fixing Fannie And Freddie: Will Another Government Agency Help?

Legacies Of The Greatest Generation Live On Veterans Day, 2014

(Author’s Note: Austin Hill co-wrote this editorial with Dennis Mansfield, Author of “Finding Malone,” a real-life story of fathers, sons, and valor on the battlefields of World War II.) It’s a day to honor those who have served in our military, yes, but it is also a day when many American civilians enjoy a holiday from their labors.

Don’t Let This Happen To Your Profession: AMA Culpable In Our Government Healthcare Fiasco

If you think ObamaCare is bad for consumers and patients think about this: how would you like to spend between twelve and sixteen years of your life in grueling and expensive academic training, only to have politicians and bureaucrats dictating to you years later how you will practice your craft and how much money you’ll be allowed to earn?

Oblivious: Washington DC Ignoring The Biggest Economic Transformation Of Our Lifetimes

The jobs report looks good. The jobs report wasn’t as bad as anticipated. There are fewer people working, but that’s okay - the unemployment rate still dropped last month. Are you fed up with the U.S. federal government’s “spin” and constant efforts to convince you that the labor market isn’t as bad as it seems?

Corporate Profits Decline: Time For A Celebration?

“Corporate Profits Lose Steam.” That was the headline atop a recent Wall Street Journal article. For those that become indignant about highly successful and profitable corporations, this should be really great news – right?
