The US's reputation for freedom of the press is suffering from Obama's War on Journalism.

Instead of the inheritance tax, that millions of fools oppose because of some irrational taboo against "taxing the dead", how about taxing bequests as ordinary income?

The Most Important Economic Number Isn't GDP or Unemployment. It's Wages.

Decreases in the full extent of unemployment do tend to translate eventually into higher wages.

In the past, stimulating economic growth was an effective way to decrease unemployment and increase wages.

We need to stop measuring the economy with total wealth, total production, etc.
