If he were debating Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich could chew him up and spit him out.

And it would be worth the price of admission to see it.

Politicians can solve almost any problem — usually by creating a bigger problem. But, so long as the voters are aware of the problem that the politicians have solved, and unaware of the bigger problems they have created, political "solutions" are a political success.

Yep, like proposing a lowl low, low national sales tax on top of the income tax to cure high taxes.

Oh, but it's okay - Congress won't break their legs, falling, tripping, and laughing hysterically to vote to raise those low, low, low taxes as soon as they can.

And you can also trust - my fellow Americans - that once this national sales tax is passed, why, Congress will then throw out the income tax altogether, because they simply won't need it anymore to satisfy the Federal need for money.

I’m curious as to what Dr. Sowell thinks about Herman Cain’s economic plan.

I hope the people who are challenging Obamacare in the Supreme Court point out that the equal application of the laws, mandated by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, is violated when the president can arbitrarily grant hundreds of waivers to the Obamacare law to his political favorites, while everyone else has to follow its costly provisions.

That point has not been hit nearly hard enough, IMO.

Most of us may lament the fact that so many more people are today dependent on food stamps and other government subsidies. But dependency usually translates into votes for whoever is handing out the benefits, so an economic disaster can be a political bonanza, as it was for Franklin D. Roosevelt. Don't count Obama out in 2012.

When it switches from "never let a crisis go to waste" to 'creating a crisis in haste isn't a waste,' it'll be over.

I love this man and his calm, cool head.

BTTT for an American treasure.
