Lo and behold, the Wisconsin economy is surging without tax increases.

So is Michigan‘s. Ohio balanced its budget without a tax increase. Glad the Dems are trotting out that paragon of fiscal conservatism Pat Quinn this week.

A discussion of the ECB bond buying.

Analysis of the Romney tax plan from a middle of the road economist.

This is a great summation of the convention in Charlotte.

Some thoughts on two Medicare plans.

Think hard about what they are saying. It should creep you out.

Everything you think you know about China is wrong.

This is great. The Crony Chronicles.

In Illinois, three time murderer Drew Peterson (who went to my high school ’72, Rick Santelli was 1974) was finally found guilty on one of them. OJ Simpson still not guilty.
