George W. Bush opened his Presidential Library yesterday and the timing could not have been better. Fresh on the heels of the first successful “terror” attack since 9-11, we were presented with what is likely the most expensive, lavish and Orwellian edifice to presidential revisionism this country has ever seen. This is just the beginning [...]
The Reinhart-Rogoff Controversy
OK, let’s agree that increasing the public debt is a bad idea at any time. That leads to the question why a country that issues its own currency even has a debt. Why are we borrowing our own dollars back at a premium from people who, obviously, have no other use for them and haven’t [...]

A majority of senators (54) did vote to break the filibuster and vote on the bill, but that [...]

Senators with No Guts
46 U.S. Senators voted against public safety to protect the interests of the weapons industry. The Washington Post calls them cowards. I think that’s wrong.
