After issuing $32 billion of new 2-year bonds last Tuesday, the U.S. debt to GDP ratio hit 101%. Quietly. I guess the mainstream media was too busy arguing over contraceptives to bother reporting that we're on the road to Greece.

Oh, and surprise! The "federal government [will most likely] hit the debt ceiling sooner than expected."

Sweet, huh?

Worship of the Mob
Several months ago, I was visiting some friends in Sydney and was invited to the house of a friend-of-a-friend for some late night drinks and a chat. My host and his friends were left-wing bohemian types and had been informed by my friend that I am a "free-market anarchist," or something like that. They found this notion intriguing, and so they quizzed me on what that means, and this naturally led into a discussion of the merits of a free market versus a democracy.

The "War on Terror" has officially come home. Welcome to "Battlefield America."

It's Rule 5 Monday!

The continued cries for "leadership" coming from both the political left and right in America these days shows just how far we've moved away from being freemen. This is a dangerous habit. Especially because democratic popular elections always give rise to "increasingly bad and dangerous individuals."
Why Bad Men Rule
One of the most widely accepted propositions among political economists is the following: Every monopoly is bad from the viewpoint of consumers. Monopoly is understood in its classical sense to be an exclusive privilege granted to a single producer of a commodity or service, i.e., as the absence of free entry into a particular line of production. In other words, only one agency, A, may produce a given good, x. Any such monopolist is bad for consumers because, shielded from potential new entrants into his area of production, the price of the monopolist's product x will be higher and the quality of x lower than otherwise.
