Congress Poised In 2015 To Order Edit Of The Federal Reserve Long Sought By Ron Paul, by Stephen Dinan, at washingtontimes.com. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Less intersection T-Bone crashes but more rear end collisions because of people slamming on brakes trying to avoid getting a ticket. Unintended consequences? Who would have thought?

Medicare Payments For Primary Care To Drop By 50% Or More In Cal, NY, Fla, and Penn, at economicpolicyjournal.com. Lets see, how does this work again?
