Did You Know? “Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVRO)” — Encourages officers to look beyond first impressions, using what appears to be a routine domestic disturbance to dramatically illustrate that a hidden deadly threat involving firearms may be present—and that a GVRO should be obtained.

cutting defense spending isn't
Military spending is out of control, but how does it stack up against social security, Medicaid, and Medicare?

We're all for reducing defense spending, but it might surprise you to learn that we actually spend more on health care than the military. We even spend more just on social security than the military.

Even if we took all the money from the military, somehow confiscated all the net worth of all the billionaires in the US, managed to double the amount of money the government collects in annual income tax revenue, and found other ways to raise all the money we need to pay for the new massive social spending programs that have been proposed by Bernie Sanders and others (which is essentially impossible), the act of monetizing all of that money and getting it circulating in the economy would have another major problem.

According to FEE Sr. Fellow and Professor of Economics, Antony Davies:

"$40 trillion over 10 years is $4 trillion per year, which basically doubles the federal budget. That would mean – by Bernie’s own numbers – at best, $5 trillion deficits every year.

The Fed would have to monetize the bulk of that. If the Fed simply monetized half of those deficits, we’d be looking at circa 10% annual inflation on an on-going basis."

Unfortunately... None of this works the way a lot of people want it to. So, on this episode of Common Sense Soapbox, Seamus explains why we need to cut spending in ALL areas unless we want to fall off a fiscal cliff.

Seamus and Bob are back!

While reading his preferred newspaper, Ron begins to think that banning homeschooling is a great idea. After all, homeschooled kids are weird, under-educated, and likely to be abused, right?

Well, Seamus and Bob have some things to say about that…

Chinese censorship of its own people is pretty terrible, but why should we in the US be bothered by it? Well, the effects don't simply stop at China's borders. China's speech restrictions affect tons of things that Americans want, need, and consume, from our entertainment to the information we use to shape our public health strategies. Now, China has upped the game with their new national security law regarding Hong Kong, criminalizing anyone, anywhere in the world advocating democratic reform for Hong Kong. Not only should the right of people all over the world to speak freely be protected for principle's sake but also because silencing anyone can impact everyone.
