Thomas Jefferson's Financial Advice
Administrative Account | Chuck Norris
I'm not an economist, but this much I have figured out: If our spending is always more than our income, we're heading down the wrong fiscal road. That's where we've been for quite some time. Except for brief periods in our nation's history, we never have been very disciplined with debt management. |

Environmentalists' Wild Predictions
Administrative Account | Walter E. Williams
At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind."...In 1972, a report was written for the Club of Rome warning the world would run out of gold by 1981, mercury and silver by 1985, tin by 1987 and petroleum, copper, lead and natural gas by 1992. Gordon Taylor, in his 1970 book "The Doomsday Book," said Americans were using 50 percent of the world's resources and "by 2000 they [Americans] will, if permitted, be using all of them." In 1975, the Environmental Fund took out full-page ads warning, "The World as we know it will likely be ruined by the year 2000." |

Administrative Account | Paul Weyrich
Members of Congress, he noted, "have been vocal about foreign governments increasing their oil production; yet Congress has been just as vocal in opposition to efforts to expand our production here at home. They repeatedly blocked environmentally safe exploration in ANWR. The Department of Energy estimates that ANWR could allow America to produce about a million additional barrels of oil every day, which translates to about 27 millions of gallons of gasoline and diesel every day. That would be about a 20% increase of oil...and it would likely mean lower gas prices." |

Administrative Account | Cliff Kincaid - Accuracy in Media
The Chicago Tribune, which once employed Barack Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod, is refusing to publish the truth about a Weather Underground terrorist bombing that killed a policeman.

The Tribune considers Ayers an education expert and has published various articles by him. |
