Submitted by John Greenwood on 3.27.2009
As the United States, Canada and other countries unleash trillions of dollars of economic stimulus packages on the world's teetering financial system, it may be helpful to recall that the last time governments tried to "fix" the economy with mountains of borrowed money, it ended up making the problem worse.

Submitted by Jason Clemens on 3.12.2009
The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), a likely hot button for the Obama administration, would fundamentally alter the balance of power in the U. S. labor market and impose enormous costs on workers.
