Our friend Dan Mitchell from the Cato Institute released a new video Jan. 10 on the third rail of politics, Social Security.

Read MoreObama’s Keynesian plan … it’s just all wrong
A recent video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity caught my attention during the last couple of days. Hiwa Alaghebandian – who we have seen before – explains how Keynesian economics represents the opposite of what should be happening. It’s a good primer for those looking for information.
