You’ve been watching the debates (except for that one at 7 AM on Sunday morning), and you keep hearing references to Austrian economics. They keep mentioning names like Hayek, Friedman, and Mises. What’s with all these German sounding sames, you say. And why is Ron Paul staying up to read an economics textbook while the rest of these bozos are watching college football? [cont…]
What You’ll Never See if You Live in Utah: A Presidential Candidate
January 6, 2012 by
What will you never see if you’re a voter in Utah? You’ll never meet the candidates for President, unless you count emails asking for money or phone calls. If you live in New Hampshire, though, or Iowa, or maybe even South Carolina, you might learn something like this: You learn that Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) is awful […]
