Video: Cut spending in MA and Vote Yes on 3

Below is a video that I have created to spread the word about Question 3.  Specifically, as my previous articles, the idea is to look behind the knee-jerk reaction and the feel-good rhetoric.  From a truly mathematical perspective, we can truly cut our sales tax and experience no cuts in services.  Both sides are engaged in propaganda, but the opposition is especially damaging.  The opposition insists on skewing the numbers and manipulating the data in order to scare and intimidate - this is not a right way to run the campaign.  While the pro-Question 3 crowd's biggest offense is a possible error in how many jobs would be created.

More importantly the opposition, something exposed in the video, particularly which organizations comprise the opposition should be enough to anger any tax paying citizen.  It is frustrating beyond belief to see public unions run roughshod all over us with piles and piles of money.  Anyway, enjoy and share with others.   We need all the help we can get.

The 2009 credit boom is coming to an end.

The credit expansion boom of 2009 will eventually go down as yet another period of credit expansion promoted by the Fed that will have lead to another predictable bust.   Today, it will be interesting to examine how the various levels of production are behaving under years and years of artificial interest rate suppression.  It will also be helpful to look at charts and graphs examining the business cycle theory and the impact of time preference as taught by Mises. For starters, those new to the concept - a very brief paraphrasing of the general idea. Under a healthy functioning market people's consumer patterns impact their savings.  More consumption equals less saving and less consumption more saving.  In order to progress the society must save such that it can make investments in machinery, equipment, technology, etc if it hopes to increase the capacity of production.   Sure ,you can harvest 10 coconuts a day, consume them by night and repeat the process...

What is wrong with this country?

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve. What jumped out was the age group and who they are likely voting for. Obama / McCain 18-24: 74% 21% The rest of the age groups are more or less even with ages 65+ leaning more for McCain. Those folks should probably avoid leaning - hazardous to their health. Now, if you are a member of this group and are part of the 74% you are probably feeling good about yourself. If you are in the 21% then you are probably used to feeling desperate and angry that your peers ostracize you as if you were the next coming of the bubonic plague. But this number is very telling. Showing to us that a large group of freshly minted liberals, on average still in college, is in a very good position to influence these elections. Enthralled by the concept of "what they want the world to be" and their utopian ideals they hammer their message to anyone willi...
