Charlie Munger, vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett's long-time business partner, once shared with me the secret of their success, "Warren and I have made a lot of money simply by not being stupid." Influential members of Congress have demonstrated yet again an inability to grasp this concept.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed a long- overdue measure to improve its efficiency by outsourcing a small number of noncritical jobs. Reps.

This qualitative study, based on a series of 30 in-depth interviews and 109 economic surveys conducted with active heroin users residing in and around Detroit, Michigan, describes reported patterns of heroin use and income generation activities.

We draw a connection between these stable patterns of addiction and income generation a...
