We've allowed our nation to be over taxed and over ran, our founders would be ashamed with us.
"The reigning error of mankind is, that we are not content with the conditions on which the goods of life are granted." Many shrink from the contrast between the work ethic and the welfare ethic, between honest money, between reality and fantasy.
"An increase in the money supply confers no social benefits whatsover, it merely redistributes income and wealth, disrupts and misguides economic production, and as such constitutes a powerful weapon in a conflict society."

Thank you for posting this. Much of what Peter said was presaged in George Roche's book, "The Fall of the Ivory Tower," Regnery Publishing 1994. But the principle holds true today: the high cost of college education is directly attributable to government intervention.
P.S. At the time his book was published, George Roche was the president of Hillsdale College, one of only two colleges in the country (Grove City College was the other) that refused to take any federal funds. I had the honor to be interviewed for a faculty position there, and got to meet George Roche. I didn't get the position, but will always value the experience of meeting the faculty and students of Hillsdale.
I make it a daily habit of dropping by mises.com every morning and reading the latest articles, today I read article that was posted on Friday by Mr. Rockwell Jr. "Economics and Moral Courage."
"The Austrians in the late 1920s and early 1930s found themselves having to explain this again and again, but it was the onset of the age of positivism - the method that posits that only what you see on the surface really matters - so they had a very difficult time making points that were more sophisticated. They were like scientists trying to address a convention of witch doctors."
I really enjoyed that article too, I stop by Mises almost every morning as well. :) It was a very encouraging article, helps me remember what we're fighting for, and everybody who calls me nuts doesn't realize what I am standing for. It was a reminder to stand by principles no matter what, and that is a lesson we should never forget.
Exactly, it was also refreshing to see the results of a person who stands for his principles such as Mises. I wish one day to obtain such an intellect and be as humble as it appears he was.
Did you see this about HR 1207 being gutted? Sorry, I was trying to post it on the forum about the initiative, since the article doesn't seem to have been picked up by the C4L folks yet: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=atc2o1ijLRno
Sorry this is so late buddy, Happy Birthday! You're still young man! As a birthday present, I'll take it easy on you when Modern Warfare 2 comes out! ;-)
