3 reasons this election didn039t change a thing
Bookmarked 803 weeks ago there039s no question that the republicans painted the map red during the 2010 midterm elections picking up control of the house of representatives gaining share in the senate and picking up a good chunk of statehouses seemingly all over the placethe republicans won big due to huge voter displeasure with the state of the economy president obama039s policies of the past two years and especially the democrat-controlled congress but does the shift in power matter here039s three reasons the gop wave won039t change a goddamn thing:1 we039re still on the fast track to the poor house when the gop ran the show with george w bush they spent like drunken sailors apologies to drunken sailors things have only gotten worse since 2008 but the gop039s much-ballyhooed at least by themselves pledge to america only pledges to spend the least bit less than the dems the pledge conspicuously exempted defense and entitlements from spending cuts thereby taking more than 60 percent of outlays off the table and making it impossible to seriously cut spending triumphant gop spokespeople sounded the same message on election day generally refusing to offer up specifics about spending cuts2 nobody039s talking about foreign policy and ending the warfare state in constant dollars defense spending has basically doubled since 2000 and is projected to stay at levels hundreds of billions of dollars above what it was before the cold war ended perhaps more important neither president obama nor his party039s leadership has even begun a meaningful conversation about foreign policy the same goes for the republicans who constantly exempt defense spending one of the very largest annual items in the federal budget from serious scrutiny much less significant cuts president obama is following george w bush039s painfully slow withdrawal plan from iraq and has tripled down in afghanistan without clarifying us goals and leaving lots of wiggle room when it comes to supposed deadlines for leaving the only folks more hellbent on maintaining an unexamined status quo than the president are the republicans3 the only people worse than liberals on social issues are conservatives president obama and the democrats spent more time hectoring americans to eat our vegetables than they did repealing quotdon039t ask don039t tellquot pushing immigration reform or ending drug prohibition but don039t look for the new crew in dc or your state capitol to push social tolerance anytime soon if anything - and despite all the limited-government rhetoric - they039ll be even worse when it comes to expanding individual autonomy and increasing lifestyle choicethe one up side to the midterms only that we don039t have to worry about another election for two woefully short yearsquot3 reasons this election didn039t change a thingquot is written and produced by meredith bragg and nick gillespie who also hostsgo to http:reasoncomblog20101102reasontv-3-reasons-this-electi for data on the abovego to http:reasontv for downloadable versions of our videos and subscribe to reasontv039s youtube channel to receive automatic notification when new material goes live |

trayvon martin george zimmerman amp the decline of racism amp violence in america
Bookmarked 727 weeks ago trayvon martin will not go gently into that good night and the poor kid039s ghost can and will haunt us it seems until justice is donehis shooter the neighborhood watch captain george zimmerman has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder so the wheels of the legal system however slowly and imperfectly are grinding forwardbut we can039t shake the death of 17-year-old trayvon that039s partly because it was senseless and avoidable and also in part because his shooting is being ridden like seabiscuit by everyone to benefit their respective political sides and agendasfigures such as jesse jackson and al sharpton want to use the martin shooting to say that when it comes to race little to nothing has changed in america over the past 20 30 or 50 years gun control advocates want to say that the shooting proves that america is awash in the blood of gun violence egged on by second amendment fundamentalistsbut neither of those things is truewhile there039s still a lot of work to be done race relations are getting better as is clear from the majority of black white latino and other respondents in poll after poll electing barack obama as president doesn039t give us a free pass on the nation039s ugly history but it039s a pretty good indicator that things aren039t the way they used to beand gun violence in every way is way down from where it was just a few decades ago when most states and localities started to allow more people to own and carry guns that039s true even in florida which liberalized its gun laws years ago leading people to worry it would become quotthe gunshine statequot in fact florida039s death rate from guns is average for the countryi039m saddened by trayvon martin039s death i don039t think that george zimmerman should have pursued him and confronted him after calling the copsbut i also think that we can only negatively compound the tragedy if we insist on making it embody trends that are actually moving in positive directionsabout 2 minutesproduced by joshua swain camera by jim epstein written by nick gillespie and kennedy who also hostsfor links to supporting data go to http:reasoncomblog20120424trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-the-decland go to http:reasontv for downloadable versions and subscribe to reasontv039s youtube channel to receive automatic notifications when new material goes live |

3 reasons to end obamacare before it begins
Bookmarked 731 weeks ago as the legality of the patient protection and affordable care act - aka obamacare - goes before the highest court in the land here are three reasons to chuck the whole program even before it gets underway1 it represents the end of limited government the supreme court will issue its verdict later this spring of course but there039s no question that if the government can force you to do something simply because you exist and draw breath then the american experiment in limited government is over and done with whether it039s the mandating of eating broccoli or buying insurance a government that can make you do whatever it wants just ain039t in the american grain2 its price tag is already ballooning the latest government estimate of cost tells us what we already knew health-care reform is going to cost us a lot more than the arm and the leg it039s supposed to save us the congressional budget office is now saying that the first full decade of obamacare is going to cost about 18 trillion or double the original estimate used to sell the program3 obamacare won039t make us healthier health insurance isn039t the same thing as health most of us might end up paying more for health care under the new law but there039s precious little evidence that coverage itself leads to lower medical costs a 1993 study by the rand corporation found that quotfor the average person there were no substantial benefits from free care quot not smoking eating moderately and not boozing it up provide greater health benefits than any low-deductible low-co-pay insurance planfor links to all claims made in the video go to http:reasoncomblog201203253-reasons-to-kill-obamacare-before-it-beproduced by meredith bragg written by nick gillespie who also narrates gillespie is co-author of the declaration of independents: how libertarian politics can fix what039s wrong with america available at amazon and bampampnabout 145 minutes go to http:reasontv for downloadable versions subscribe to reason039s youtube channel to get automatic notification when new material goes onlinewatch more health-care-related vids and read more articles at http:reasoncomfor more quot3 reasonsquot vids go to http:wwwyoutubecomplaylistlist=pl47b73d393cfc3301follow reason on twitter: http:twittercomreasonfollow nick gillespie on twitter: http:twittercomnickgillespie |

3 reasons not to fund art with taxes amp yes there039s a weiner connection
Bookmarked 772 weeks ago a few weeks back hollywood movie stars and groups such as the creative coalition stormed washington dc to lobby for increased taxpayer funding of the arts most memorably oscar-winning actor kevin spacey told hardball039s chris matthew that abraham lincoln was a huge theater fan who quotunderstood that he needed the arts to replenish his soulquot not surprisingly spacey didn039t mention where lincoln was assassinated or the profession of his killerbut funding the arts with taxapayer dollars is a bad idea for at least three reasons1 publicly financed art is easily censored art last december the national portrait gallery almost immediately pulled a four-minute video called quota fire in my bellyquot after complaints from the catholic league and politicians such as rep eric cantor r-va and house speaker john boehner r-ohio who objected to images of ants crawling over a crucifix it039s hard to imagine a private museum so quickly and cravenly pulling an offending piece but when the taxpayer is footing the bill the most easily aggrieved among us yields a thug039s veto indeed in february scandalized rep anthony weiner d-ny even called for getting rid of a 1922 statue in new york city due to what he says is its sexist portrayal of women2 we039re broke advocates of public funding for the arts routinely argue that the budget of groups such as the national endowment for the arts comes to just pennies per citizen and the cost of just one pentagon bomber is comparatively huge but government at every level is flat broke so it039s all money we don039t have defense spending which has jacked up by over 70 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars since 2001 should be cut drastically but that doesn039t mean smaller items should get a pass or that taxpayers should pony up for another season of dr who reruns on pbs3 it039s unnecessary nea head rocco landesman has defended grants to groups such as the san francisco mime troupe on the grounds that it is a world-famous outfit that has contributed mightily to the stage which is another way of saying it should have little to no trouble finding private patrons to help it out americans give around 13 billion a year in private donations to the arts that039s a lot of money and if it039s not enough to fund every request groups such as the san francisco mime troupe will just have to figure out how to better work the crowdabout 245 minutesproduced by meredith bragg and nick gillespie who also hostsfor supporting links and downloadable versions go to http:reasontv subscribe to reasontv039s youtube channel to receive automatic notifications when new material goes live |
