"Free enterprise has done more to reduce poverty than all the government programs dreamed up by Democrats."   --Ronald Reagan

Too Many Cooked Up Crises and Scandals Spoil Our Public Policy          By Theresa Fritz Camoriano           Recent “news” reports suggest that the University of Louisville has intentionally overlooked improper expenditures by its former president, suggesting that there is something crooked and scandalous afoot.  But the “news” does not report any actual improper expenditures – just that there might be something improper that hasn’t been found yet.  Now there’s some real news!  Similarly, our local newspaper is accusing Kentucky’s new governor, Ernie Fletcher, of having a corrupt administration – before he has even taken office and had any opportunity to do anything corrupt.... 

Echoes from the political graveyard      Bluegrass Institute For Public Policy Solutions           From the political graveyard, outgoing Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton resurrects the most familiar theme during his stormy tenure: Raising taxes is the only way to save the Commonwealth’s sinking economic ship....

It's All About Conner -         By Tom Preble          I apply sunscreen.  Another day out in the sun driving little kids and adolescents awaits me. ...                 

Among other things, I am a rural school bus driver.  Bus drivers must pass a Colorado Bureau of Investigation criminal background check, driving record check, earn a commercial driver's license and pass many additional tests.  No, it's not really a community service punishment for child averse criminals, as one might imagine. ...

The Supreme Cork is ready to blow! Here's why!...

Bush put the idea of a personal account option for Social Security on the national agenda. It was and still is a good idea. Such reform would allow workers the freedom to choose to shift a portion of their Social Security payroll taxes into their own personal investment account, which would then finance a proportionate share of future Social Security retirement benefits. Get ready for the sequel: Bush administration officials have said such reform will be a focus of next year's campaign, and a second Bush term....

"The presumption in America today -- first for the poor, but increasingly for all of us -- is that our children belong to the state. The state allows those children to remain 'out on loan' to their natural birth parents only so long as you meet all the government's requirements: Every vaccination recommended by the major pharmaceutical firms, no matter how dangerous or statistically useless. No guns in the house; no strange faith-healing religious beliefs. And you'd better make sure your kid reports to the local government youth propaganda camp from the age of 6 ... or is it 5 now? ... so the local educrats get their subsidies based on a full complement of little butts to warm the seats." --Vin Suprynowicz
