Hillary’s Plan Has To Be A Cruel Joke

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – You must be really desperate to resort to hackneyed, worn out, already trotted out and tried central planning schemes disguised as self-help efforts in a presidential campaign. I speak, of course, of Mrs. Clinton’s latest sop to the few remaining central economic and central social planners out there that still think there's some work for them to do. Check out today’s transcript for […]

Suburbia The Ultimate Experiment

The Social And Economic Experiment and It's Lab Rats Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We’ve been planned and gamed and cajoled into these suburbs and into these lives of never-ending commuting.

You Say You Wanna Rethink The Union? Consider Secession From Mordor

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – [Mike, mocking] “What’s so big about the big, bad central government? There are a lot of things bad about it.

Obamacare – An Austrian Economics Lesson

Romney and His Plans

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What I’m hearing is basically that whether they’re conservative or liberal, people want their king to lead them, whether it’s King Obama or King Mitt.
