An Urgent Conversation with Jay Richards on Economics

With only days to the election some are in desperate need of a good primer on basic economics, since most schools no longer teach it in the most classical sense, leaving our population to flounder in a pool of bad economic ideas and leadership.

This podcast (the one listed as "Money, Greed and God," in case this link goes whacky) from Frank Turek's "Cross Examined" radio program contains a commercial-free conversation with the Discovery Institute's Jay Richards about capitalism and socialism, what the two systems are, which is better, and why.

You, and everyone you know, needs to listen to this immediately. Send the link to all of your friends, especially fiscal liberals who think "just a little socialism" is what our country needs to set things right.

I'm hoping some lights will begin to illumine some long-dark attics and libraries within the minds of potential voters who need to hear this.

The Debt Limit—Brought Down To Our Level

Here's Brian Stepanek's brilliant short film dramatizing our nation's "little problem." (Remember: if we don't have the income, we have to cut our expenses!)

What Planet Is Paul Krugman From?

I cannot believe, after so much negative evidence has piled up, that there is still a serious Keynesian left in the public square. Yet, here is Paul Krugman, insisting that,

"Unfortunately, in late 2010 and early 2011, politicians and policy makers in much of the Western world believed that they knew better, that we should focus on deficits, not jobs, even though our economies had barely begun to recover from the slump that followed the financial crisis. And by acting on that anti-Keynesian belief, they ended up proving Keynes right all over again."

Keynes Was Right

Read for yourself and judge how deeply Mr. Krugman is addicted to the "blue pill."
