Thomas Sargent gives an interesting perspective in An American History Lesson for Europe, in the Wall Street Journal 2/3/12.
Excerpt:
To finance canals and railroads, many state governments incurred large debts in the 1820s and 1830s. A financial crisis in the late 1830s pushed many of those state debts into default.
Appealing to the precedent set by the [...]]]></description>

The Editors of National Review responds to the President&#8217;s call for fairness in Buffetted by Taxes, 4/11/12
Excerpt:
The Buffett Rule would function as a secondary alternative-minimum tax, putatively to accomplish what the primary alternative-minimum tax has failed to do: sock it to billionaires (“billionaires” here being defined in some instances as “individuals making $250,000 a year,” which [...]]]></description>

While the European socialist experiment is crashing and burning, this administration seeks to double down on emulating the continent that so many of our forefathers suffered greatly to leave behind.

From his days with the Irgun, Begin was deemed an intransigent radical.  To many he was an obstacle to peace.  Given Jimmy Carter’s commitment to the peace process, many expected his staff to be [...]]]></description>
