Ron Johnson’s Transformative Proposal | National Review Online
$4 trillion? Try $106 trillion, the medium estimate. That’s $106,954,000,000,000. Even the lowest, extremely conservative estimate comes in at $72 trillion; the highest is over $120 trillion.
The amounts are so large that some controversial reforms appear inconsequential in comparison. Take Obama’s “chained CPI” proposal: it would save an estimated $89 billion over ten years, or 1.3 percent of the total deficit over those same ten years.

One Neuroscientist Rethinks Addiction - WNYC
One Neuroscientist Rethinks Addiction - WNYC
The waiting area of the Brooklyn Family Courthouse isn’t where you’d expect to find a Columbia University neuroscientist. But Carl Hart isn’t your average professor.
His credentials are sterling: Hart has studied addiction and the brain for the last 25 years. He has tenure in Columbia's Psychology Department. He's on the National Advisory Council for Drug Abuse. His book, High Price, questions the War on Drugs. But his insistence on using lab research to advocate for changes in how drugs are dealt with in courts like this one is what makes him stand out.
“Drugs are not as dangerous as we have made them out to be,” Hart says. “I'm trying to get people to use the data, the empirical evidence, and when you do that, you realize that we have been lied to, the public has been lied to.”
Professor Hart has been taking the stand and submitting written testimony in family courtrooms around the city, advocating for children to stay with their parents, even if their parents have tested positive for using marijuana.
Hart says the belief that casual marijuana use impairs your parenting has no scientific basis — and pot use that isn’t excessive is on par with having a drink now and again: “We don’t remove children because their parents drink alcohol,” Hart points out. “My kids would be removed if that was the case.”

Pledge of Allegiance: But Allegiance to What?
Pledge of Allegiance: But Allegiance to What?
06-08-2013 • The Local Voluntary
Inspired by something I read this morning, I took a 20 minute study of the Pledge of Allegiance. Who wrote it? What inspired them? Who cares? If anything, our allegiance should be to ourselves. To be honest. To seek objective truth. To seek fairness in opportunity, not distribution. To seek freedom in society, not oppression or captivity. To seek liberty in our own actions and personal responsibility for our errors. And finally: To seek justice to all who do NOT. Read Full Story

This is what a police state looks like. Arresting peaceful protesters for using their rights to peacefully protest the state. There was no crime committed. The criminals work for the state, the state IS a criminal organization.
