Expansionary monetary policy does not lower interest rates.
Expansionary monetary policy is "monetary policy that seeks to increase the size of the money supply." http://www.babylon.com/definition/expansionary_monetary_policy/ This belief is widespread because of its intents. While the intent of such a policy is to increase the loanable funds (therefore decreasing interest rates [supply and demand]) http://www.economyprofessor.com/economictheories/loanable-funds-theory-of-the-rate-of-interest.php , the inflationary result leads interest rates to sky...

Minimum wage laws should not exist.
Minimum wage laws are not only unnecessary but counterproductive because competition for workers keeps wages up and wage controls discourage hiring. People are going to go where the money is. For example, imagine a janitorial job was advertised for hire. If the wage is $100 dollars per hour, thousands of people would want the job. If the wage was $1 per hour, you probably wouldn't find anyone to do it. Supply and demand is the fundamental principal of economics. The supply of workers goes up a...

I happen to agree with this quote, therefore I stand in affirmation of the resolution; Resolved: The United St...

McCain and Obama should not be allowed on the 2008 Presidential Ballot in Texas.
Ladies and Gentleman, I come to you with blatant ignorance of the law. Let me explain to you: The deadline for candidates to get their name on the ballot in Texas was August 26th @ 5:00 p.m. BOTH the Republicans and Democrats MISSED this deadline by not turning in the papers on time. By ANY interpretation of the law, they should not be allowed to be on the ballot, however, the Secretary of State in Texas seems to be poised to ignore this, and allow them on the ballot anyway. ==============...
