• America On the Verge of Bailing Out Greece ; Nancy and Barack Go Into Debt to Solve Europe's Problem

When the president and the speaker of the House recently reached into taxpayer pockets for a trillion-dollar wealth-redistribution exercise under the guise of containing our health care costs, at least the recipients were, by and large, fellow Americans. As an encore, within the next month, billions of U.S. tax dollars will be spent plugging budget holes within the European Union's core eurozone. Evidently with Nancy and Barack's blessing. I am, of course, writing about the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) recent commitment to participate in the inevitable bailout of Greek national debt. The initial tab is $50 billion, and consensus is that this is just for triage and the patient ultimately will require much more. With the United States having the largest IMF quota, it is the largest...

• Haiti Needs Freedom

For Haiti the problem is that centuries of foreign and domestic tyranny have kept individual liberty and free markets from blossoming. The U.S. government played a role in this, with its nearly 20-year occupation (1915-1934) in behalf of sugar interests. But Haiti has suffered under a series of domestic tyrants too, including the brutal Duvaliers, who were backed for a while by the U.S. government as a Caribbean cold-war counterweight to Castro's Cuba. Even under democracy, Haiti found little relief from corruption and stifling control. It has been the recipient of government-to-government "aid," but that has not created prosperity; rather it lined the pockets of crooked officials. Conventional wisdom would say that Haiti did not get enough "aid" money or that it went to the wrong peopl...

• Basic Research Must Remain a Priority

Researchers at Virginia Tech's Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems develop ways to extract power from both expected and unexpected places. Motion, stress, light and heat offer opportunities to create electricity. For example, a jogger's bouncing might power an mp3 player. The basic scientific research the center and other Tech laboratories conduct leads not only to a better understanding of the universe, but also to innovations that drive our economy and improve our quality of life. It therefore would be disastrous if those labs and uncounted others around the country suddenly lost their biggest donor.
