EBT Card Users Pay It Backwards

Mandeville, LA - Church Doctrine - In his essay “The Law”, Frederic Bastiat identified the fatal tendencies of free people. “[T]here is also another tendency that is common among people. When they can, they wish to live and prosper at the expense of others.” This helps explain why the number of Americans on Food Stamps has expanded from 25 million in 2008 to 47 million this past June.

A Dysfunctional Citizenry Concerned About Their Dysfunctional Government

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We’re going to step into the King Dude’s wayback machine and go back two days ago to the Gallup organization’s website.

Consumerism Will Save The American Economy!

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - There's a headline at cbsnews.com that says that "Can US Consumers Save The Economy?". But isn't consumerism what's wrong with America?

Why We’re Called to Give The Shirts Off Our Backs To The Poor & The Government Isn’t
