The History of the US Dollar (12/02/2010): Most everyone associates the word “dollar” as referring to a Federal Reserve Note (i.e. the green piece of paper featuring the portrait of a past president). Let's briefly explore why this association of terms is not only incorrect - it is a dangerous mistake.

The History the Federal Reserve System (12/02/2010): I tell the fascinating story about how the Federal Reserve System was conceived during a highly secretive nine day meeting in Jekyll Island, GA.

What is the "cost" of not extending tax cuts? (09/26/2010): Lost jobs and lower productivity are sure bets...But, it is incorrect to say tax cuts increase the deficit. Tax cuts don't cost money, government spending costs money.

History of the Income Tax and Tax Increases (10/03/2010): The average tax burden per citizen in 1910 was about 5%. Today it is nearly 30%. But that is really only half the story. Higher taxes give people and businesses incentive to consume now, and it discourages capital accumulation and wealth generating investments. So every increase in taxes means a less productive economy.

"Sound Economics" is not taught in Government Schools
(10/10/2010): Kids are still being taught that the Great Depression was the result of a market failure and the New Deal saved us. Both of these misconceptions have been proven incorrect beyond argument. It is absurd. This misinformation impacts the way people view and perceive the current crisis.
