The Media Won't Tell You But The Numbers Don't Lie, The Recession Is Back
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – It ought to be a subject of discussion frequently on this show that we talk about these economic events and affairs. If you are of the Austrian economic school, you know that what Ben Bernyankme and company, and what the Congress has allowed Bernyankme to do is to set the table for an awful bubble burst, worse than the one in 2008. The one in 2008 may have been comprised of some unintended consequences. The one that’s coming our….Continue
Tennessee Valley Authority - Just Another Entitlement Program
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – It’s all regulated by the state. These things are operated under the supervision of these god-awful things called public service commissions. All they do is ensure that the utility is guaranteed to make a vast, vast profit on the sale. They could still make the profit, but if they had to compete for it, they would then have to actually be out and in the business of marketing. They might have to improve delivery of services. Th….Continue
Social Security Is A Giant Ponzi Scheme - The Money's Been Spent!
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If you need any more proof, as if you needed it, that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, and that there is no trust fund, and that the trust fund was squandered and used in real time decades ago, here you go. It’s contained in the story. If the immigration bill the Gang of Eight is proposing is passed, it could provide a boost, says the story. It could provide a boost for Social Security. Check out today’s transcript for the ….Continue
Dr. Eric Helps Us Unravel The Web That Is Medicare And Medicaid
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Caller Eric: A hospital may charge, say $140,000 and get paid $12,000, because Medicaid and Medicare set a fee schedule and say: Hospital, here’s your $12,000 for a total knee. You figure out how to make money. The rest of that charge is not allowed to be passed onto the patient by law. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue
Sales Taxes Go Way Back...And They're Always A Bad Idea
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – “Sales Tax: History of a Dumb Idea” by Mason Gaffney, this is part of my post. I found this wonderful essay written by Mr. Gaffney in Insights Magazine back in 2005 about sales taxes. He writes about the history of the sales tax. It goes way, way back, farther than you can ever imagine. Check out today’s audio and transcript for the rest…….Continue
Central Economic Planning Dictates We Make Tanks And More Tanks
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – What do we need tanks for? I know what we need them for, but what do we need more for? So it’s a jobs program. The military thus, and the reason why the defense budget is defended so vociferously by Republicans is not for national defense; it is for corporate defense. It is to make sure that the leviathan continues to shower favored corporations that lobby for the money tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars per year. Tha….Continue
Caller Greg Says Single Parents Are Just As Good As Two Parents
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Greg, on your behalf, because it sounds like you need that information in order to have a good day, I will go and find the information. As soon as I get the numbers, I will be more than happy to share them with you. Anecdotally speaking in the meantime and not empirically speaking, anecdotally speaking, I do not believe that there is any case to argue that a two-parent family is, by and large, disproportionately better off with chi….Continue

Marketplace Intervention By The State Causes Healthcare Inflation
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Who is to say, without government mandate that a health insurance company must cover this, cover mental health, cover reproductive services, hangnails, whatever else they say you must cover, who is to say that any of the things that prolong life or are beneficial to the human condition and to our health are based on the price mechanism? The only way you would develop these things is if people could afford to pay for them. Check out….Continue
Raise The Minimum Wage, Destroy The Market
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Any wage control damages a market because it has an effect on the price mechanism. Wage is part of the price mechanism, too. Your ability as a businessperson to set the wage, this is part of the price mechanism. This is how you arrive at how much to sell the donut for. The labor cost, that goes into the price mechanism. Anytime the government comes in and sets the price, it is altering forever the m….Continue
Obama's BRAIN: The State Invents And Discovers All That's Good In This Country
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The basic idea the president is trying to get across is that government investment is somehow sacred and somehow superior to private investment. I’ve got to ask the question: Says who and why? The proposition is that if you just left the money in the hands of us knuckle-dragging Neanderthals out here, without being led about with pinkies stuck into our nostrils and our brilliant federal overlord researchers going through all the ….Continue
Interview with Ron Paul on Rand, Foreign Policy, Economy, And Homeschooling

X Day - Return To A Gold Standard Is Possible
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The German people are one of the better practitioners of free market economics in Europe. This is all traced back to Austrian School thought and Wilhelm Roepke. I didn’t know any of this. It is therefore a story that can be used as part of the historical record for those that say, [mocking] “We can’t go back to a gold standard. Everything would be devalued.” The Germans did it. They did it ….Continue
Wilhelm Roepke And Ron Paul Were Right...History Is Repeating Itself
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is relevant today because we are in this similar situation. This is why when Ron Paul says he believes foreign policy is the biggest issue that we have to confront and why so many of you, again leading politicized lives, say the same thing to me and that I’m wrong and Rand is wrong and any of those that are non-interventionists and are not for big war and big military, that we’re wrong and dangerous and a threat. No, you….Continue
Left-Right Paradigm - How Different Are The Two Sides?
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Whose idea basically was Obamacare? The Heritage Foundation, it’s their idea. This is the conservative response to Hillary’s 1993 effort in Hillarycare. How many of you are old enough to remember Hillarycare? If you are old enough to remember Hillarycare, then you will remember that what was proposed was a centralized -- it was nowhere near as complex as Obamacare ultimately became -- version of a European-style government-ru….Continue
Interview With Tom Woods On Tradition, Catholicism, And Pope Francis I
Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – We’ve been having a very robust discussion. Of course, I have fielded calls from the usual suspects who demand to know why there is a Catholic Church. You guys are just after power. You’re a bunch of power-hungry people. The pope is a king. It’s the Roman Empire, not the Roman Catholic Church. Tell the folks a little bit about Sacred Then and Sacred Now and how that would apply to what we saw yesterday and what we may see….Continue

Student Loans - Bad Economic Policy But Big Business
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Big business loves big government. Big education is big business. Now you have the companies going: Don’t worry, dude, you just leave us alone and write these regulations that we want and we will make it a policy that someone has got to be going to one of your big education universities in order to become an intern for us. We’ll lock them out. We will slam the door shut. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue
Bill Clinton and Trickle-Up Economics
Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Trickle-down economics did not run the debt up, government spending did. Trickle-down economics after Clinton left office did not run the debt up, government spending did. You see, both of The Industry parties, Republicans and Democrats, must put this façade up that one cares more than the other about spending, about how economics are waged and who gets what. Wouldn’t it just be such a paradise to live….Continue
Will 2012 Produce a Hero or Day To Remember?
Will 2012 Produce a Hero or Day To Remember? ©2012 Mike Church When the history of this year, 2012 is written, what issue will be the focus? Who will be the heroes and who will be the scapegoats? Will there be a date that future generations celebrate every year because of something we do in this one? Well, the answer to the date question is: it won’t be because there was a lack of opportunity. The cynic can look around this state and thi….Continue
