The Government collects a certain amount of revenue in the form of taxes every year to pay for its existence, yet it customarily spends much more than it collects and nonchalantly finances the difference with hardly a headline. This is an astounding occurrence in that the Government can spend anything it desires and any [...]
The Constitution of the United States was a carefully written document that provided for a very limited Federal Government, one that was lightly layered over sovereign state Governments. It provides a firm foundation for strong state powers and a limited Federal power. The Federal Government was basically there to provide for a national [...]
Another day, another Czar. For every issue we face as Americans it seems the solution resides with our Government appointing yet another Czar as if any of the previous dozen or so appointed have ever been successful, that is unless you consider our car Czar’s recent policy of steamrolling property rights as a successful [...]

They publicly chastised a group of creditors that had a right, in fact a fiduciary duty, to protect the value of their investments in Chrysler for the benefit of their [...]
In an attempt to kick-start our struggling economy that has been suffering from this formidable global slump, our Government has been pumping money into the system relentlessly with no end in sight.
