Welcome

Welcome to a discussion of ideas, opinion, and fact. I started this site out of frustration with the “fourth branch of government”. The wholesale failure of the press has allowed absolute power to corrupt absolutely. What remains is a ubiquitous, invasive, welfare state that was once the envy of the free world.

Quick Thoughts:

More than just an indictment on the exponential increase in the cost of education, The College Conspiracy is a metaphor for all government intrusions into private institutions. When the government plays an active role two things are certain, first a dramatic increase in cost occurs followed by a downward spiral in quality. College cost and quality is illustrative of government meddling. The College Conspiracy is a well sourced in-depth look into the escalating cost and ensuing mediocrity that government pervades. This video is emblematic of many problems we see in the supposed, private sector. While watching replace College with any of the following; whether the housing market, lending institutions, healthcare or Social Security, then realize government involvement is the disease not the cure.
