Americans Suffer from Natural and Government-Created Disasters
10/3/22 - By Ron Paul

Last week Congress passed a continuing resolution and then adjourned until after the election. When Congress reconvenes, it will almost certainly pass a multi-billion dollars aid package for those impacted by Hurricane Ian. This spending will likely be labeled “emergency,” so Congress members will not even have to pretend they are offsetting the new spending with cuts in other, lower priority programs.

Will Italy’s Election Foreshadow US Midterms?
9/26/22 - By Ron Paul

Sunday was an historic election day for Italy. A conservative alliance with a populist flair absolutely trounced the technocrats who had been running the country into the ground for the past several years.

9/20/22 - By Walter E. Block

Something is rotten in the state of Oregon. I travelled there last month. I pulled in to a filling station, intending to buy some gas. There was this guy there; he wouldn’t let me fill up my tank myself. He said there were no self-serves allowed in the entire state. He was a lot bigger than me so I didn’t protest too vociferously despite having a brown belt in karate – my wife would have smacked me if I had gotten into it with him; but I was annoyed. I’m not accustomed to a system of compulsory full-service gas stations. I come from the free state of Louisiana. I like to pump my own gasoline, like most folk.

A new report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a program of the US Department of Education, confirms what most parents already knew: shutting down the schools because of the panic over covid was a disaster for American schoolchildren. According to the NAEP, since the 2020 school shutdowns the average nine-year-old suffered a decline in reading skills and math skills. The reading skills decline is the largest since 1990. The math skills decline is the first ever reported by NAEP.

Europe Commits Suicide-by-Sanctions
9/12/22 - By Ron Paul

A Swiss billboard is making the rounds on social media depicting a young woman on the telephone. The caption reads, "Does the neighbor heat the apartment to over 19 degrees (66F)? Please inform us." While the Swiss government has dismissed the poster as a fake, the penalties Swiss citizens face for daring to warm their homes are very real. According to the Swiss newspaper Blick, those who violate the 66 degree heating limit could face as many as three years in prison!
