“Obama sees everything backward. Where Americans see individual achievement, he sees government's work. Where we see failing companies, he sees innovation worth subsidizing.

“The Obama administration's agenda of maximizing dependency involves political favoritism cloaked in the raiment of "economic planning" and "social justice" that somehow produce results superior to what markets produce when freedom allows merit to manifest itself, and incompetence to fail. The administration's central activity - the political allocation of wealth and opportunity - is not merely susceptible to corruption, it is corruption.” PoliticalOpportunitySocialWealthJusticeResultsFailingEconomicProduceActivitySocial JusticeCorruptionPlanningSuperiorsAdministrationMeritAgendasManifestIncompetenceDependencySusceptibleMaximizingAllocationFavoritism Author:George Will
“With the increasingly important role of intelligent machines in all phases of our lives--military, medical, economic and financial, political--it is odd to keep reading articles with titles such as Whatever Happened to Artificial Intelligence?

“The Bush Administration believes the Kyoto protocol could damage our collective prosperity, and in so doing, actually put our long-term environmental health at risk.

“Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices. Its public relations experts call for "freedom and democracy" without a framework of higher values. They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism.” PeopleWorldNeedsTwoPoliticalValuesPoliticsSidesJusticeEconomyDemocracyFailingEconomicHigherEssentialsConcernClaimsRelationBlindInjusticeTerrorismContraryMonstersDespiteIdeologyPreservesExpertsLiberalismStatus QuoCoinsMonopolyConservatismFrameworkParadigmTwo SidesPublic RelationsTwo Heads Author:Robert Dickson Crane

“All economic and political institutions are contrivances that should serve the interests of the people.

“Concern for the fate of the great rivers of the earth must lead us to reflect soberly on the model of development which our society is pursuing.

“Failure is a big part of a free market's success. People fail to live up to their potential, or to carry out all their good intentions, in all kinds of economic and political systems.

“In the name of compassion, Obama advocates seemingly endless extensions of unemployment benefits because his economic theology holds that by paying people not to work, you will create jobs. It not only fails to factor in the obvious deterrent that extended benefits have on their recipients but also falsely assumes that transferring money from one pocket to the next generates more spending - by some mythical multiple factor, no less. Back on planet Earth, studies reveal that extending unemployment benefits results in more unemployment.” PeopleEarthJobsNextNamesResultsCompassionStudyFailingEconomicPlanetsBenefitsAssumingObviousSpendingEndlessTheologyFactorsPocketsMultipleUnemploymentExtensionsPlanet EarthExtendingDeterrentUnemployment Benefits Author:David Limbaugh
