 Lawmakers Bill Taxpayers For TVs, Cameras, LexusThe Congress enacts legislation for itself which provides itself with what are essentially employee benefits. So it treats its members as employees of themselves. In doing so, the Congress provides taxpayer subsidized employee benefits to its members that it refuses to provide to the people Congressmen represent. ABC’s NightlieAmerica lacks a mainstream press. What it has is a mainstream cess, as in ‘cesspool.’ An Open Letter to John Cornyn and the CongressIf private insurance companies had any interest or desire to provide Americans with a high-quality healthcare system, they have had half a century to do it and haven’t. Private industry has no interest in solving social problems. Never has, never will have. It’s only interest is profit. And profit buys no medicine. Commenting on CommentsMark Davis, a Dallas radio talk show host, claims that comment sections on media websites attract a lot of inane stuff and that they “deserve to survive only in an atmosphere of accommodating responsible supervision. Any print or TV web site editing for lucidity will be doing its part to improve the tenor of public discourse.” But “noise” is ubiquitous in American media, and editing comments on-line will not help. An Open Letter to Senator John Cornyn and all other Members of CongressWhat’s good for the Congress is just too good for the American people. Saving That Isn'TOwning a share of stock is just like owning a piece of furniture, and just as a piece of furniture is not money, neither is a share of stock. What the future value of a share of stock is cannot be known until one tries to sell it. And as anyone who has tried to sell used furniture has learned, its value may be zero. How to Make Solving Problems ImpossibleThe American political system has made a practice of making it impossible to solve its social problems. When politicians burden a proposed policy with contradictory goals, the policy can not be effective even if enacted. That's what happens in a two-ideologically-based-party system, and as a result, America has not solved a major social problem in more than half a century. Another Pot Calling the Kettle BlackWhen the Israeli government and its supporters call anti-Israeli demonstrations anti-Semitic, they are merely scapegoating others for their own actions. Creative Destruction and More Economic NonsenseIf nothing else, the controversies among economists on almost every issue proves that economics is a fraudulent ideology. So although economists claim to be engaged in a rational enterprise, they themselves are not clearly rational. A Bankers' EconomyBanking has always been an elaborate confidence game, and the history of central banking provides ample evidence that his claim is true. Six decades ago, the U.S. Treasury wanted to shut down the Bank for International Settlements, saying it helped finance the Nazis. Today, Jean-Claude Trichet and Ben S. Bernanke are transforming the organization into one of the world's most powerful networking clubs.
