    How does cheap oil effect other countries?

    Affect. I honestly thought prices were lower given the crappy state of the economy. Less work means less demand for petrol (since it's used in some way, shape, or form for virtually any application). Less demand means lower prices. If it was intentional I would imagine lowering gas prices would...

    College Debt

    I like this point because it extends to other problem areas. An example would be welfare. Instead of arguing about whether or not to expand welfare why not get to the root of the issue and target the shitty economy that perpetuates and even creates circumstances that would otherwise be non...

    What evidence is the recovery based on?

    Probably based on all the bullshit numbers i.e. GDP, unemployment % etc which all have had their formulas' changed *recently* (and several times over the years) to make the papers looks better than reality.

    US college professor demands imprisonment for climate-change deniers

    The Skeptic's Case holds some interesting data and facts that still leaves quite a bit of factual skepticism about climate change: https://mises.org/daily/5892/The-Skeptics-Case All I see is a little sweater vested Chihuahua like professor barking at the wind.

    Bill to Register all Firearms in Illinois Introduced

    Too bad this is nothing but sound, fury, and a waste of taxpayer money, time, and energy. It's clear this is a loaded bill with such an adolescent naive intention of reducing gun violence or possibly aiding in who to point the finger at when incidents containing firearms. To be honest this bill...

    IMO eliminate property and income tax and adjust budgets to accommodate said changes.

    Net neutrality killed in court

    Just so my cards are straight: Senator Paul votes Yea on the motion to proceed with this bill which prevents the FCC from having authority to regulate broadband and Internet practices? So it's good he voted this way but bad in that the motion to proceed with said bill to restrict the FCC...

    Legalizing Pot will make Mexican Cartels MORE DANGEROUS!!

    Don't even need to read the article or even get the full context because of these two things: Look at the booze industry. Look at the tabaco industry. Setting the marijuana industry up in similar manners (minus the bullshit "sin" tax) would leave a relatively safe and healthy market for the...

    1.3 Million Jobless Americans Lose Benefits Today

    I suppose now would be a good time to address the problem instead of the symptoms. Oh wait, the Fed has unemployment covered with their "dual mandate". Because dialing a knob magically makes jobs.

    Peter Schiff asks Walmart shoppers if they support $15/hr for Walmart workers

    Funny how these Walmart shoppers find it unfair what Walmart pays its employees yet they still shop there. What's that? Oh yea. Money talks bullshit walks. In this case it's walkin' right through those Walmart doors.

    Federal judge: Carrying a gun is reasonable suspicion of a crime

    I can't find it now but I'm pretty sure there was a court decision from some time ago that said it's not probably cause.

    Ted Cruz: Rand Paul Can't Win Because of Ron Paul

    I should note that I believe my uncle represents your more or less "Average" GOP voter. Hell, I would make a bet that over half the GOP voters of past election already forgot who Ron Paul is. This tends to happen when you vote for "Not Obama".
