What do you do when Social Security, a government-run Ponzi scheme, starts to unravel? Unfortunately that question is ignored by most aspiring politicians because they have been warned that just one touch and the third rail will be their undoing.

I live in Virginia, in a county right next door to Congressman Gerry Connally’s district.

Range Fuels is a politically connected, mostly through its founder, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla. Khosla has given… Read More
Crony Capitalism

As if we need another example of crony capitalism, the Obama administration is providing the perfect punching bag. This time he is doing it with his healthcare plan. Already, President Obama has been granting waivers to different states, but apparently the idea of all states (or people, because unions are getting waivers as well) being… Read More
