Are diversified investments safer than non-diversified? Or, another AP misrepresentation?
I have a 401(k) plan. 401(k) is the section of the tax code that lets me contribute money into an account tax free (i.e., the money I put in each month is off the top, and not taxed), is allowed to grow tax free (i.e., no capital gains tax) which will eventually be taxed when [...]
Five Traps That Trick Americans Into Accepting Socialized Medicine
There is no serious debate in Washington about health care, as Democrats make another attempt to confiscate control of our entire health care system. It’s a war of words even among Democrats, as each faction tries to fashion its own idea of how best to get the sheeple on the road to health care rationing. [...]
GM Bankruptcy
I think it’s interesting the a company going bankrupt would be talked about on a political blog, but apparently the US Government will own 60% of the “new GM”. Canada will also have a major stake in this “new GM” as a 12% shareholder. So now, here we find ourselves out of $30,000,000,000 (I couldn’t [...]

Sunrise at Coffin Rock
The old man walked slowly through the dry, fallen leaves of autumn, his practiced eye automatically choosing the bare and stony places in the trail for his feet. There was scarcely a sound as he passed, though his left knee was stiff with scar tissue. He grunted occasionally as the tight sinews pulled. “Darn chainsaw”, [...]
The Final Battle Against REAL ID Has Begun
The national ID battle, brewing for years, is now underway in earnest. On January 11, the Department of Homeland Security released its final rules on what states must do to implement REAL ID, the national identification law Congress passed in 2005. Homeland Security has taken the gloves off. States have until May to accept the [...]
All Candidates But One Will Increase Gov’t Spending
Of all the Republican and Democratic candidates for president, only one is proposing to actually cut government spending. That one, not surprisingly, is libertarian Republican Ron Paul. The rest — Republicans and Democrats alike — are proposing to *increase* government spending by anywhere from several billion to hundreds of billions of dollars. That’s the startling [...]
