When Governments Cut Spending
Uploaded on Sep 28, 2011
Do governments ever cut spending? According to Dr. Stephen Davies, there are historical examples of government spending cuts in Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, and America. In these cases, despite popular belief, the government spending cuts did not cause economic stagnation. In fact, the spending cuts often accelerated economic growth by freeing up resources for the private sector.

Laughing at Obama’s Fumbled Attempt to Extort More Taxes with FAA Flight Delays
April 29, 2013 by Dan Mitchell
You don’t enjoy many victories when you fight for liberty, so I’m not averse to spiking the football on those rare occasions when we win.
That’s why I shared this very funny cartoon last week to celebrate Obama’s belly flop on gun control.
Now we have another cartoon, this one by Henry Payne, mocking the Administration’s shameful effort to force a tax increase by deliberately making air travel less convenient.
No wonder the President is behaving in such a petulant fashion. The sequester is an embarrassing defeat for Obama and other proponents of bigger government.
He thought he could bully Republicans into a class-warfare tax hike. Now he’s resorting to pathetic gimmicks.
And he lost on that issue now that Congress has made explicit that the FAA has authority to reallocate funds.
Let’s not just spike the football. Let’s do a dance in the end zone.
