Democrats liken President Obama to FDR, who, interestingly, had his legacy salvaged by Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto; while Republicans liken him to Mikhail Gorbachev, who struggled to sustain a doomed theory of governance. The Democrats’ dependency agenda – swelling their own ranks by swelling...

If our elected “leaders” insist on playing World Series of Poker with our economy, then the Republicans ought to go all-in and see if the President has the hole cards to get out of the corner he’s painted himself into. President Obama is insisting on increasing revenues – apparently...

Let’s take a deep breath and look at where we are, and at what’s the norm. Everybody seems to agree that the current vector of government needs adjustment. That’s where agreement ends. We are on track for running trillion-dollar deficits ad infinitum , so the track needs changing. The...

It’s been Obama’s economy since January 21 2009, but he can’t pretend that his policies aren’t driving events any more. In the end, he has probably done future generations a favor by discrediting Keynesian theory in the hands of politicians, once and for all. President Obama threw...

There now begins public debate on two related but separate issues – raising the debt ceiling, and the FY2012 budget. The important lesson the Republicans should take from last week’s continuing resolution agreement is that they won on issues directly related to spending cuts – not social...

Politicians are charging that Goldman Sachs was less than forthright about certain of their products. Am I the only one who sees not irony, but hypocrisy, in this? Have politicians told us that the Social Security taxes we pay are funding a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff blush? Have any of...

After the recent debacle (I say debacle, because it was definitely not a debate) over Health Care, many have said to me that they believe this is the beginning of the end for Liberty. Although we could easily debate this idea for hours, let’s just say, I disagree with you. Liberty, ladies...

John Maynard, Lord Keynes, (1883 - 1946) was a British economist whose ideas define modern fiscal policies, as they clearly elucidate the effects of government actions on the broader economy.
