The examples cited are in Ms and Al but the same events can be found in every state.  I tend to agree with the author.  Stadiums for privately owned teams should be built by those teams since they are used to generate the enormous cash flows those teams enjoy.

Interesting article about how current government policy is diluting the hard earned savings that those of us have put away for our retirement years.  We really need to look closely at candidates and their record before electing them to office.

Sometimes I disagree with the lady but I always read her opinions as I respect her ability to analyze a situation and draw conclusions based on on the facts and her own value system.  She almost always exposes enough of the facts to allow me to apply my own value system and draw my own conclusions.  That last paragraph ending with "Worked last time." is in my opinion a fine prophesy of where we are heading politically.
National health programs, which started with the very conservative Otto von Bismark in the 1880s, may be a good idea if implemented in a slow and carefully designed method so as to insure that it does not destroy the national economy.  The problem is Obama Care was implemented in neither a slow or carefully designed method.  Like many medicines, too much, too soon with no consideration for side effects can be fatal to an economy.

Libertarians should take a seat at the Republican Party's table

An interesting and really logical idea in my opinion.  The Libertarians that are already in the Republican party (IE the Paul family) have had an effect on the party's positions and an increased Libertarian presence would tend to increase that effect, and maybe even become a major wing in the Republican party.  I for one would welcome this influence as I have tended to be a conservative who finds many things in common with Libertarian thought.
