Sep 25, 2017 ~ Tom Purcell, 'Spending Other People's Money' - when landlords charge a flat rate for utilities, renters run up bills many times what they otherwise would - this is exactly why government provided services cost so much.

Sep 23, 2017 ~ Walter Williams, "The Welfare State's Legacy" 'The No. 1 problem among blacks is the effects stemming from a very weak family structure.' 75% of black children born are out of wedlock.

Sep 23, 2017 ~ Matthew Continetti, 'Democrats Follow Bernie Sanders Off a Cliff' - endorse Single Payer, Medicare for All - So absurdly unaffordable that even ultra liberal Vermont and California had to reject it - reasons why it would be a disaster [Sanders, Health Care, Entitlements]

Aug 26, 2017 ~ Michael Tanner, "The Problem with the 'Otherwise, People Will Die' Argument for Big Government" Economic growth does more to save lives than any government program ever could. Big government and high taxes reduce economic growth. Nothing kills like poverty. [Economics, Entitlements]

Aug 5, 2017 ~ Tori Richards, 'LA made $1.3B in illegal immigrant welfare payouts in just 2 years'.

Apr 17, 2017 ~ 15 Million Americans on Disability - huge fraud case exposed thousands of fraudulent claims with just one doctor, $550 million - just the tip of the iceberg - very easy to scam. SSA can't investigate most of the fraud. [Entitlements]
Mar 24, 2017 ~ Entitlements - The Most Dangerous Addiction of Them All - Krauthammer, Will and Prager explain why entitlements are so difficult or even impossible to repeal even when it is obvious they are fiscally unsustainable.
