		<description><![CDATA[The gold price fell, dramatically, and now is bobbing about. Meanwhile, the prospects for implementing a 21st century gold standard continues to rise. Dramatically. In a recent media monetary policy media slugfest between The New York Times and The Atlantic, on one side, and Bloomberg.com and Forbes.com on the other, analyzed here, recently, the gold standard prevailed. It is noteworthy that gold’s victory in [...]]]></description>

President Obama has put down his table ante, as described by the Washington Post headline, “Obama budget would cut entitlements in exchange for tax increases.” In plain English Team Obama is offering the Republicans a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The breakout headliner issue in 1978 was “Tax Revolt.”  A Time Magazine cover showed Howard Jarvis shaking his fist under that headline. Proposition 13 time.  Then?   The Tax Revolt went, as we would now say, viral.  Citizen discontent — and political activism — against high tax rates turned into a national, and then international, phenomenon. The revolt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, to far too little notice.  It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.  As elsewhere reported, some of this purchase order is for rounds forbidden [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China appears to be on the verge of closing, or, at minimum, seriously reforming its 350 forced labor camps, together with injecting due process into its system. It is an historic development, one under-reported in the mainstream Western media. The New York Times and Reuters, but far too few other media, are on this story. This may turn [...]]]></description>

But this living room conversation, earlier in the month, was between two clashing political titans: the co-founder of MoveOn.org, Joan Blades, and the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, the largest and most authentic of the Tea Party groups, Mark Meckler.

Actually, it is trying to delegitimize the funding by free market heroes such as Charles and David Koch while sanitizing its own. One of the problems with the left critique, however, is that there isn’t too much money, big or otherwise, [...]]]></description>
