Was 2011 good or bad for freedom?

To answer that question, I've booked an all-star libertarian panel:... continue reading »

On my Fox Business Network show this Thursday at 10PM ET, and in my syndicated column today, I ask:

As 2011 draws to a close, is freedom winning? Did America become freer this year? Less free? How about the rest of the world?

I go through some of what was good and bad for freedom in 2011:... continue reading »

I titled my show tonight, "What if Libertarians Were in Charge?"

I don't expect the world to become libertarian any time soon. But perhaps "free cities" will take hold and give people options to move to a more libertarian society.

Should gay marriage be legal? That makes sense to me. Shouldn't all consenting adults should be treated the same way?

But last week, I had Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage on my show. He says we should absolutely not allow gay marriage. From my syndicated column today:... continue reading »

Paul will also debate foreign policy with Lt Col Tony Shaffer... continue reading »

Last week, the Indiana Senate passed the biggest school voucher program in the country. The voucher program would apply to families with incomes under a certain level (for a family of four, $61,000.)... continue reading »

When I went to Princeton in 1969, my professors taught me that government could solve the world's problems. I believed. So did most students. It's intuitive to think that if you put the smartest people in a room and give them enough taxpayer money, they will have the best shot at fixing the country's problems.

Some Americans actually make a living … begging for money. Professional panhandlers, they’re called, sometimes making more than $100 in a day.

It’s a small example of why some said that  the USA is turning into a nation of freeloaders... continue reading »
