Libertarians continually point out that the one thing mainstream politicians everywhere never seem to learn, no matter how many do-overs they get, is this: All actions have consequences; ill-conceived actions have unintended consequences.
This is because the politician's response to every issue is the same: Governmental coercion solves all problems.
Thrift
used to be a virtue in America. In Asia, thrift remains a way of life
- for example, it is estimated that the average Chinese family's
thrift rate is 30 to 40 percent - which helps explain the rapid
growth rates there.
If
you've been reading the Quad-City
Times or The
Dispatch/Rock
Island Argus, you might
have no idea that one of Ohio's U.S. Representatives, Democrat
Dennis Kucinich, is trying to impeach President George W. Bush. To be
fair, unless you've been watching C-SPAN or you have a friend or
co-worker who is a rabid Kucinich fan, you probably don't have much
information on it, either.
