Former Communist Countries that Rapidly Shifted to Market Economies Fared Better than those that went Gradually

They transformed stone age societies with no plumbing and no electricity into world commercial powers with long life expectancy, advanced art and culture and healthy populations in only two generations (South Korea, Singapore, Tiawan, etc.).

FIRST AMENDMENT LECTURE: Every Claim of Campaign Finance Reformers is Untrue
It is perhaps the biggest myth in American politics: that the private sector is “buying” elections through campaign spending.

Government pushed “Medicaid Expansion” on State Governments with False Price Claims
When Obamacare was pushed down American’s throats in 2009, the Act allowed states to opt out of “Medicaid Expansion.” Those state legislatures that did opt out were bullied and lied to about the costs.
