* My interviews (part I and part II) on Freedom & Prosperity Radio, where we talk about cap and trade etc. These are actually fairly in-depth interviews; we get into a lot of issues that a standard interview doesn’t allow for. * Bob Higgs reports that real wages are rising during the recession, which helps […]

* The SEC’s inspector general has released its report as to why the SEC missed the ball on Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, even though private citizens were warning them for years that he was cooking the books. And it turns out–phew!–that the government wasn’t corrupt, it just made an honest mistake (or twelve). Robert Wenzel […]

TokyoTom Moving the Goalposts?

You know, it would really make my life easier if all of you readers would get your brother to start reading. Then I could quit my day job and blog full time.
