Which Economists Should Have Gotten Nobels Before They Died? ([link removed])
Art Carden (AIER)
[link removed]
Mises, Knight, Tullock, Alchian, Demsetz, Hutt, Baumol, Simon—each was a world-class economist who shaped the discipline we know today. But not one, shamefully, was awarded a Nobel Prize. And as other deserving economists, like Thomas Sowell and Israel Kirzner, enter their 70s, 80s, and 90s, that list is only likely to get longer. Yes, something is rotten in Stockholm....

Ivan Eland (Inside Sources)
[link removed]
The recent talk in Congress? Changing the Insurrection Act of 1807. How about instead we just scrap this law? Do we really ever need federal troops these days to keep the domestic peace? State and local police forces are vastly better than in 1807, and states can now call out the National Guard. That’s plenty of protection—and we get to keep what’s left of our civil liberties.

Honoring Veterans with Educational Freedom ([link removed])
Vicki E. Alger (Townhall)
[link removed]
Americans want to honor the veterans. That’s why we have holidays like Memorial Day. Yet members of our military deserve more than speeches and parades. They deserve parental choice in education. No wonder three out of four military families favor education savings accounts (ESAs). How do we expand these programs? READ MORE » ([link removed])
