Optimism in short supply
Submitted by Steven Greenhut on 12.31.2009
Listening to National Public Radio – or state-run radio, as I facetiously call it – I heard the commentator make a snide remark about the past year and the many follies in America's "capitalist" system. No doubt, 2009 was a bad year for private companies, as the government bailed out ill-performing automakers, insurance companies and banks.

2010 initiatives: good, bad and silly
Submitted by Steven Greenhut on 12.20.2009

Anything that can actually pass will not fix anything – or might make things worse. We're in a pickle, and it's unclear how it will all play out.

Misguided move to the middle
Submitted by Steven Greenhut on 12.14.2009
As a believer in limited government, free markets and low taxes, I rarely find myself in agreement with the state's liberal Democrats, and my libertarian bent sometimes puts me at odds with conservative Republicans, at least when it comes to their approach to law-and-order and social issues.

Plunder! Dissects Government Unions
Submitted by John Seiler on 12.10.2009
How’s your government treating you lately? I thought so. Unjust wars. Torture. Inflation. Wild spending. Record deficits. Record debt. Bankruptcy. Police brutality. Officious officials. Depression. It’s time to get even. Or at least get an explanation.
