A poll released Tuesday found that in head-to-head election match-ups between President Barack Obama and various Republican presidential candidates, Texas Rep. Ron Paul fared best among non-white voters.
“There’s a great pressure on people in Washington to ‘do something,’ and that pressure has led to many things that have been counterproductive. “Right now the problem is not that there isn’t money in the economy.
U.S. fiscal and monetary policies are mainly directed at getting a near-term result. The estimated cost of new jobs in President Obama's latest jobs bill is at least $200,000 per job, based on administration estimates of the number of jobs and their cost.

For Congressman Paul to be voted by Bloomberg readers as the best candidate regarding economic issues, even when he was allowed limited opportunities to speak at last nights debate, speaks highly to those in the business world who understand Paul's knowledge and abilities on …
President Obama’s solution to America’s deficit woes is to make the rich pay higher taxes.
"What people don't realize is the developing world is massively overregulated," Strong said.
Though his campaign has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, Rep. Ron Paul has been making some gains over the course of the last few months.
The new documents show a private investor in Solyndra questioning why the federal government, back in September 2009, agreed to put up so much money — $535 million — to help the company expand given the questions about its financial future. “One of our solar …
Americans might have to get used to high unemployment unless Congress and the president get serious about deficit reduction, a lower corporate tax rate, a higher gas tax rate to encourage use of an abundant U.S.
One must not confuse broken government with slow government. Washington is stalled. It's being pulled in opposite directions by competing visions of government. In 2008, the American people elected a liberal president, House and Senate. What resulted was anything but gridlock.
This sounds like a pretty good scam, at least if you’re a vote-buying politician, but there is one little detail that sometimes gets forgotten. Raising the tax burden is not the same as raising revenue.
It’s the Yuma Desalting Plant in Arizona, built by the federal Bureau of Reclamation at a taxpayer cost of $245 million.

Labor agreements mandate that postal employees have a certain amount of guaranteed work hours, which means that they cannot be laid off during periods of low mail volume or unplanned events like the breakdown of equipment.
New York businessman James Lieto was an innocent bystander in a fraud investigation last year. Federal agents seized $392,000 of his cash anyway. An armored-car firm hired by Mr. Lieto to carry money for his check-cashing company got ensnared in the FBI probe.

You've heard everybody from Jon Stewart to well, Ron Paul complain about it, but now we have a study from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center to back it up.

Despite these massive tax cuts for the bottom 80%, overall federal revenues were the same 18.5% share of GDP in 2007 as they were in 1979 and individual tax revenues were nearly the same—8.7% of GDP in 1979 versus 8.4% in 2007. In short, reductions in top tax rates under P …
Ron Paul has always remembered to pay his taxes. It seems a good portion of President Barack Obama's Cabinet, including his own secretary of the Treasury can't claim that.
a North Charleston swamp has been transformed into a state-of-the-art, green-energy powered, 1.2 million square-foot airplane assembly plant.
This contrast is instructive. Although virtually all conservatives say they want to spend less and limit the size of government, only a small portion are willing to go to the lengths necessary to do this comprehensively and substantively.
Of course, Paul himself, running as a libertarian in Republican cloaking, has won election to Congress 12 times from his Texas district. And in recent decades, libertarian ideas have threaded into popular political thinking.
Ron Paul has displayed strength among evangelical voters in recent polls despite intense (even desperate) attempts from candidates like Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry to win over the religious community.

Daniel - Your articles are not just partisan cheerleading with links to biased statistics. I am relatively new to newsvine, and most of it is mindless one-liners for political parties with a bunch of mindless insults for those who ask questions about the one-liners.
You are obviously a thoughtful,educated and well-grounded individual who ask the right questions. Thank you for your posts!
I'm the first to leave a comment for you! I feel honored! I just want to thank you for being a bastion of sanity of logic in the sea of liberal chaos known as 'Newsvine'. Always enjoy reading your posts.
