Myths: Behind the Govt. Jobs Numbers

Can the government "create jobs" in the economy? The question is quite apart from the jobs that are legitimate for a government to do to protect our individual life, liberty and property.

John Stossel, recently joined Fox Business Network, discusses with his hosts the premise of government creating or saving jobs with the stimulus funds. (Fox Business Network, 8 min.).

Video- "Policy Peril: Straight Talk About Global Warming"

In this 39 minute movie, Competitive Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis explains why we have more to fear from global warming policies than from global warming itself. The movie refutes a number of assertions made by Al Gore in "The Inconvenient Truth". While thousands of students all over the country were made to view Gore's movie, will students be viewing this and similar other movies, to give them another viewpoint and perspective? In the name of academic freedom and giving the opposite side a fair chance to present their case, that is the least one would expect, right?!

Parents do not wait for schools to do the job. The amount of nonsense the kids (and adults) are daily being barraged with from the religious zealots called environmentalists, it is important to inform and educate yourself and your kids, creating the intellectual armor of facts and evidence. In my opinion the push for CO2 emission controls will become a concentrated effort in the next month or so on the part of several special interest groups, using multiple means to assault reason. It is up to us to be well prepared for the battle of the mind.

Video Part 1: Dr John Lewis debates Dr Byrns on UNC Campus

I have uploaded the first section of the debate. The very beginning of Dr Byrns presentation is missing and it starts a few minutes into his opening statements. Again the quality of the video is not the best.



I will continue to post the remaining four parts of the debate. I am currently encountering difficulties with upload time, and am working on figuring out if there is a more efficient method of uploading.

Video Part 2: Dr John Lewis debates Dr Byrns on UNC Campus

Dr John Lewis in this section (part 2) builds and presents his case for the morality of free markets and against government intervention in the markets. Dr Lewis was speaker at a debate on the topic of "Is it moral for the government to intervene in the free market?", hosted by Carolina Review, and held at the UNC, Chapel Hill campus on November 4, 2009. Dr Ralph Byrns, professor of economics at UNC Chapel Hill was the other speaker.

The audio & video quality of the taping is amateur (!), but the intellectual content is superlative.
