No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.

Opinion: Economics 101
I have been thinking about this blog for three or four years.
There are so many things that have changed in America in the past few
years, I began to try to understand why. Before I start with what I
believe to be a major cause of the bad and declining economy, let
me preface my remarks by explaining that an economy is a vast and
complex maze of interactive activities performed by several sectors. I
make no claim that I have all the answers, merely observations made
over many years, and then conclusions based on those observations. That
said, there are certain principles that make an economy work. One of
these principles that makes an economy work, is one you’ve heard many
times in the news…..growth.

Libertarians Oppose Census Questions
WASHINGTON – Libertarian Party (LP) Chairman William Redpath released the following statement today regarding the 2010 census:
“The Libertarian Party believes that the federal government’s current census procedures are unconstitutional, unnecessary, and too expensive. We believe that the census is constitutionally limited to collecting only one piece of information about each residence: the number of persons living in it. We urge Congress to change the census laws to comply with this constitutional limitation.

Six Reasons to Downsize the Federal Government
CATO-
1. Additional federal spending transfers resources from the more productive private sector to the less productive public sector of the economy. The bulk of federal spending goes toward subsidies and benefit payments, which generally do not enhance economic productivity. With lower productivity, average American incomes will fall.
2. As federal spending rises, it creates pressure to raise taxes now and in the future. Higher taxes reduce incentives for productive activities such as working, saving, investing, and starting businesses. Higher taxes also increase incentives to engage in unproductive activities such as tax avoidance. » read more

Ron Paul surprise winner of CPAC presidential straw poll
(CNN) — U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, a stalwart foe of government spending, won a blowout victory Saturday in the annual Conservative Political Action Conference presidential straw poll.
With participants naming “reducing the size of federal government” as their top issue, the 74-year old libertarian hero captured 31 percent of the 2,400 votes cast in the annual contest, usually seen as a barometer of how the GOP’s conservative wing regards their potential presidential candidates.

The United States going by way of Greece?
By Wayne Allyn Root, 2008 Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee
Greece is the insolvent, bankrupt country that threatens to bring down the entire EU (European Union) with its exploding and toxic national debt. But it’s just one of the PIGS- Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. The EU is damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If they choose to bail out Greece in order to save the union, soon they’ll have much bigger bankrupt nations to deal with (Portugal and Spain are next in a long Conga line). There isn’t enough money in all the world to bail out all of them. The EU is in big trouble. » read more
