Exploring The Obama Jobs Deficit 3.8.10

Episode Description
After crunching the numbers, the Heritage Foundation found the economy actually lost fewer jobs - 48 million - during the first six months of this recession than during the milder downturn in 2001, when 50 million were shed. So why is unemployment so much higher now? A dearth of job creation. Through the first two quarters of 2009, the economy created just 40 million jobs vs. the 47 million it created two quarters into the 2001 recession. Now, eight months into a recovery, the economy still isn't adding positions. In fact, it has lost an additional 1.1 million jobs - including 36,000 last month - despite a rebound in gross domestic product growth.

Bullied Out Of Office? 3.8.10

Episode Description
Politics: The strange case of New York Democrat Eric Massa keeps getting stranger. Rep. Massa resigned last week under a cloud of ethics charges, but he now claims he was pushed out for opposing health care reform. Massa claims he's being investigated by the House Ethics Committee on trumped-up charges that he sexually harassed a male aide. If true, it shows the White House and Congress are indeed being run the "Chicago Way" - with bluster, threats and even physical intimidation.

Of Rules And Rulers 3.8.10

Episode Description
Just as they are having a hard time unloading two other poor products - health care overhaul and reconciliation - on the public, party bosses will also find it difficult to sell the promise of fixes. A few in Congress will go along with the ruse. And there will be pockets of support in the public. But anyone who falls for the promise of fixes wants to be duped. The Democratic leadership is about to force the country to take a ride it doesn't want to take - a journey from which there is likely no return. Voters may get rid of the offending legislators in the fall elections, but by then it will be too late.

S.O.S. ? Save Our (Navy) Seals 3.5.10

Episode Description
Military: Two U.S. congressmen take the lead in proclaiming the obvious ? that those who attack this country should be punished and not those who risk their lives to defend it. The Navy SEALs are a special breed of patriot and warrior. This highly trained and select group ? the best of the best ? is a daily participant in the long twilight struggle against the enemies of freedom that President Kennedy warned us about.

Sanctions Kickback 3.5.10

Episode Description
Diplomacy: Is the Obama team so desperate to claim it got a sanctions deal on Iran that it's offering the same carve-outs it did with Congress on health care? That's what a new plan looks like. And it won't work. In what must be one of its worst ideas ever, the Obama administration is pressuring Congress to exempt China from any sanctions in the U.S. if it continues business as usual with Iran.

A Big Snow Job 3.5.10

Episode Description
Employment: As the economy continues to destroy jobs, we hear a new excuse. Frigid weather, the White House says, made the jobs report look worse than it is. Actually, even without snow, it's worse than you think. Businesses shed another 36,000 jobs during February, the latest jobs report shows, but the unemployment rate remained flat at 9.7%. This, say Democrats in Washington, is a positive sign. Brought to you by GoToAssist.com/techpodcast by OutloudOpinion.com For more Podcasts visit www.outloudopinion.com

Khalid Chic Is Out 3.5.10

Episode Description
War On Terror: If reports are true that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be tried by military tribunal, it's an instructive reversal. It means public opinion and national security realities have won the day. The legal theorists of the left were delighted at the idea of a high-ranking al-Qaida operative being tried just a short walk from the site of his genocidal act of war in Lower Manhattan. What a boost it would have been to the reviled activist federal judges and Democratic Party-financing trial lawyers.

The Type of Al-Qaida Operative We Allow on Planes 1.26.10

Episode Description
In virtually unnoticed testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week, National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Director Michael Leiter explained that U.S. policy leading up to the attempted Christmas Day suicide attack on Northwest Flight 253 was calculated to draw a line between two types of al-Qaida operatives: Those we allow on planes and those we do not. The policy, Leiter said, requires an analyst to decide which category the terrorist belongs in depending on "what kind of operative he was and what his intention was."

Can Obama Triangulate? 1.26.10

Episode Description
Q: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? A: One, but only if it really wants to change. Any president, at any time, can choose to embody the consensus his nation has reached after it has engaged in a period of extended debate. That process, called triangulation, involves the embrace of the elements advanced by the right and by the left that Americans have found valid and the rejection of those from which they have turned away.

Repeal the 17th Amendment 1.26.10

Episode Description
As I was preparing to write a column on the ludicrous maligning of the Tea Party movement by liberals, Democrats and the mainstream media (which I hope to write next week, instead), I started thinking about one of the key objectives of the Tea Party people -- the strict enforcement of the 10th Amendment ("The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"). As an early 1960s vintage member of the then-new conservative movement, I remember us focusing on the 10th amendment during the 1964 Goldwater campaign. It has been a staple of conservative thought, and the continued dormancy of 10th amendment enforcement has been one of the failures of our now half-century-old movement.

Cover Your Ears 1.26.10

Episode Description
"This ruling strikes at our democracy itself," President Obama declared on Saturday. "This ruling opens the floodgates for an unlimited amount of special interest money. ... I can't think of anything more devastating to the public interest." The president was referring, of course, to the Supreme Court decision that last week overturned restrictions on political speech by corporations. Like most of the criticism provoked by the ruling, his reaction was long on outrage and short on constitutional interpretation.

The "Ellie Light" Scandal 1.26.10

Episode Description
The declining (or is it dying?) newspaper industry has suffered another blow to its image as punctilious skeptic with the motto "If your mother says she loves you, check it out." It turns out, a pile of American newspapers can't manage to check out the most basic information about people who are flat-out using their pages to push political agendas. A person with the name of "Ellie Light" has been successfully published with the same letter in at least 68 newspapers defending President Obama -- defrauding the editors by using local addresses. Reports have "her" published in two papers overseas. From OutloudOpinion - For Podcasts of IBDeditorials, The New Republic, and Over 30 Syndicated Columnists, go to www.outloudopinion.com

The Spender-in-Chief?s Fiscal Freeze Follies 1.26.10

Episode Description
There are more loopholes in President Obama?s proposed "spending freeze" than in an Olympic volleyball net. Gargantuan government entitlements (Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid) are exempt. A half-trillion in unspent stimulus money is exempt. Foreign aid is exempt. The Democrats? proposed $154 billion jobs bill (Stimulus II) is exempt. Pet federal education programs will be exempt (including $4 billion for the White House "Race to the Top" standards initiative and an additional $1.35 billion he just requested in the 2011 budget). Green jobs spending will be exempt. (Obama proposed $10 billion in new clean energy spending earlier this month.) Electorally driven tax-credit expansions will be exempt. The health care takeover plan is not included. As even The New York Times reported, the "estimated $250 billion in savings over 10 years would be less than 3 percent of the roughly $9 trillion in additional deficits the government is expected to accumulate over that time."

President Obama's Lexicon of Rhetorical Devices 1.26.10

Episode Description
President Obama's friends call him the smartest man ever to occupy the White House (a dubious claim in light of the fact that John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson all had better intellectual credentials or were far superior writers, or both). According to his supporters, his command of the English language is supposedly unparalleled (when using a teleprompter, presumably).

Why Democrats Don't Care about $9.7 Trillion Debt 3.8.10

Episode Description
As reported by The Washington Post, "President Obama's proposed budget would add more than $9.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, congressional budget analysts said Friday." CNN adds, "Of that amount, an estimated $5.6 trillion will be in interest alone." The Post continues: "The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) and the White House (are) ... both predicting a deficit of about $1.5 trillion this year -- a post-World War II record at 10.3 percent of the overall economy. But the CBO is considerably less optimistic about future years, predicting that deficits would never fall below 4 percent of the economy under Obama's policies and would begin to grow rapidly after 2015.

Obama vs. Insurers and the People, Part 2 3.8.10

Episode Description
President Barack Obama obviously has no qualms about slandering people or industries that interfere with his agenda. In the same creepy manner he defamed the Cambridge Police Department without benefit of the facts, he is scapegoating the insurance companies based on his distorted version of facts. In the past week, he has ratcheted up his war on insurance companies, who, he apparently figures, must be destroyed if he is to accomplish his Utopian dream of socialized health care. He made them the focus of his wrath again, in his umpteenth health care speech, Monday in Philadelphia. Even the White House blog, in a post titled "Moving Forward to Put the American People Ahead of Insurance Companies," frames this debate as between insurance companies and the people.

Who Should Pay the Piper? 3.8.10

Episode Description
Greece this past weekend saw the worst rioting since the debt crisis began. After Athens had announced new tax hikes and budget cuts to reduce a deficit of 13 percent of gross domestic product, mobs drove guards from Greece's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and attacked police. In our own country, students, teachers and administrators at UC-Berkeley held a "Strike and Day of Action to Defend Education" to demand more money from taxpayers -- for themselves.

Stimulus or Sedative? 3.8.10

Episode Description
Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has, if you called the tail a leg? When the audience said "five," Lincoln corrected them, saying that the answer was four. "The fact that you call a tail a leg does not make it a leg." That same principle applies today. The fact that politicians call something a "stimulus" does not make it a stimulus. The fact that they call something a "jobs bill" does not mean there will be more jobs.

Beware of Democrats Bearing Gifts 3.8.10

Episode Description
The signs are all around us. Even as Barack Obama and the Democrats lower their heads and prepare to bulldoze a huge new entitlement through Congress, the results of profligate government spending are everywhere apparent. It requires a prodigious degree of ideological blindness to miss this. In Greece, decades of lavish spending on public employees and social programs have led to national bankruptcy. Greece's budget deficit last year was 12.7 percent of GDP. Want to know what an economic dead end looks like? It looks like this: A socialist government is forced to try to adopt austerity measures on an infantilized citizenry gone soft and dependent.

Is Health Care a Right? 3.8.10

Episode Description
Most politicians, and probably most Americans, see health care as a right. Thus, whether a person has the means to pay for medical services or not, he is nonetheless entitled to them. Let's ask ourselves a few questions about this vision. Say a person, let's call him Harry, suffers from diabetes and he has no means to pay a laboratory for blood work, a doctor for treatment and a pharmacy for medication. Does Harry have a right to XYZ lab's and Dr. Jones' services and a prescription from a pharmacist? And, if those services are not provided without charge, should Harry be able to call for criminal sanctions against those persons for violating his rights to health care?

Obama Bribes, Threatens, and Rewards Congress to Pass Health Care 3.5.10

Episode Description
All aspects of President Obama's Chicago-style tactics are on display as he cajoles, bullies and bribes the House to pass his health care proposals despite the overwhelming public rejection with which they have been met. To some, he offers bribes. Rep. Jim Matheson, endangered species -- a Utah Democrat -- succeeded in getting his brother Scott appointed to a federal judgeship. Matheson voted against Obamacare when it first passed the House. With his new-found winnings in his pocket, he now professes to be undecided. He faces a clear conflict between his district and his conscience on the one hand and the bribe to his brother on the other. The conscience will probably lose.

Japan?s Slow-Motion Crisis 3.2.10

Episode Description
If you listen to American, European, or even Chinese leaders, Japan is the economic future no one wants. In selling massive stimulus packages and bank bailouts, Western leaders told their people, ?We must do this or we will end up like Japan, mired in recession and deflation for a decade or more.? Chinese leaders love pointing to Japan as the prime reason not to allow any significant appreciation of their conspicuously undervalued currency. ?Western leaders forced Japan to let its currency rise in the second half of the 1980?s, and look at the disaster that followed.?

Is Fiscal Stimulus Pointless? 2.26.10

Episode Description
The Harvard economist Robert Barro, writing in The Wall Street Journal , recently made an intelligent argument against America?s fiscal stimulus. After wading through the drivel of ethics-free Republican hacks and knowledge-free academic hacks who claim, one way or another, that the basic principles of economics make it impossible for government spending decisions to alter the flow of economic activity, reading Barro comes as a great relief. But I think that Barro misreads how his own evidence applies to our current situation. Barro writes that he ?estimate[s] a spending multiplier of around 0.4 within the same year and about 0.6 over two years.... [T]he [tax] multiplier is around minus 1.1.... [Thus,] GDP would be higher than otherwise by $120 billion in 2009 and $180 billion in 2010...,? and by $60 billion in 2011.

Tea Time in America 2.25.10

Episode Description
Ever since the first ?Tea Party? convention was held last month in Nashville, Tennessee, with Sarah Palin as one of the keynote speakers, America?s political and media establishments have been reacting with a combination of apprehension and disdain. The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has called the Tea Party adherents Nazis, while the mainstream media tend to portray them as ignorant and provincial, a passive rabble with raw emotion but little analytical skill, stirred up and manipulated by demagogues to advance their own agendas. To be sure, the Tea Party?s brand of aggrieved populism ? and its composition of mostly white, angry, middle-class voters ? has deep roots in the United States, flaring up during times of change. But observers who have drawn comparisons to the Know-Nothings, the racist, paranoid, anti-Catholic, and anti-immigrant party that surged in the 1850?s, are reading the movement far too superficially.

How Safe Are Your Dollars? 2.25.10

Episode Description
Chinese officials and private investors around the world have been worrying aloud about whether their dollar investments are safe. Since the Chinese government holds a large part of its $2 trillion of foreign exchange in dollars, they have good reason to focus on the future value of the greenback. And investors with smaller dollar holdings, who can shift to other currencies much more easily than the Chinese, are right to ask themselves whether they should be diversifying into non-dollar assets ? or even shunning the dollar completely. The fear about the dollar?s future is driven by several different but related concerns. Will the value of the dollar continue its long-term downward trend relative to other currencies? Will the enormous rise of United States government debt that is projected for the coming decade and beyond lead to inflation or even to default? Will the explosive growth of commercial banks? excess reserves cause rapid inflation as the economy recovers?

Corporate Political Speech is Bad for Shareholders 2.23.10

Episode Description
The United States Supreme court recently struck down limits on the freedom of companies to spend money on political elections. Large, publicly traded companies in other countries also often face lax limits on their use of corporate resources to influence political outcomes, fueling fears that the interests of shareholders will trump those of other groups, such as consumers and employees. But corporate spending on politics can also hurt the interests of shareholders. Stock market listed companies control a big share of almost every country?s resources, so the free flow of corporate money into politics can have a profound impact on politicians? preferences and choices. In particular, the influence of corporations on politicians and political outcomes can be expected to weaken the rules that protect shareholders and ensure that companies are well-governed.

The Poverty of Stimulus 2.16.10

Episode Description
Most economists think that macroeconomic disruptions, such as the current recession, can be understood in terms of aggregate indicators such as total employment, the price level, and the money supply. But this view is misleading, particularly in the current economic situation. Worse yet, it misleads us into counterproductive economic policies. As the economist Fischer Black explained, an economy matches a population?s desires to the available resources and production technology. When an economy is operating efficiently, expectations are largely fulfilled; desires, resources, and production technology are well matched; and people are reasonably satisfied with their plans, relations, and contracts.

The Greatest Virtue of the Republican Budget Plan 3.9.10

Episode Description
This past Friday, without much fanfare, CBO submitted its analysis of President Obama?s proposed FY 2011 budget. The bottom line is worse than we thought. Despite sustained economic recovery, the budget deficit under the president?s proposal never falls below 4 percent of GDP over the next decade and rises to 5.6 percent by 2020. The aggregate deficit during that period is $9.761 trillion?close to $1 trillion each year on average. Not surprisingly, debt held by the public rises steadily and reaches 90 percent of GDP by 2020. If the historical study of financial crises conducted by Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart is correct, that level of debt is enough to reduce our long-tem growth prospects by about a percentage point each year. by OutloudOpinion

What, You Have a Better Idea for Cost Control? 3.8.10

Episode Description
David Brooks thinks it. David Gregory thinks it. The Washington Post editorial page thinks it. And, what the heck, I think it. If health care reform passes Congress, the final legislation probably won't cut the cost of medical care as quickly as seems possible on paper. But would the legislation make a good start--as good a start as possible, given political reality? Brooks, Gregory, the Post, and plenty of other critics seem to think the answer is "no." I think they are nuts. And since arguments about costs are likely to loom large in the thinking of nervous House Democrats, it's worth explaining why. by OutloudOpinion

Labor and Delivery: An obscure nominee and a hinge moment for the Obama presidency. 3.8.10

Episode Description
In a few weeks, Barack Obama will have a chance to do something he hasn?t done particularly well during his first year in office: successfully defy his opponents and, at the same time, reassure his most loyal supporters. At issue is the fate of Craig Becker, one of Obama?s nominees for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Last month, Becker was denied a vote on his nomination when Senate Democrats failed to overcome a GOP filibuster. Now, the Senate?s coming Easter break will give Obama an opportunity to put Becker on the NLRB via recess appointment. And there are good reasons--among them, the need to restore some semblance of functioning government in Washington--why he shouldn?t pass it up. by OutloudOpinion

Can The Climate-Bill Trio Appease Big Oil? 3.4.10

Episode Description
Details about the forthcoming Senate climate bill are still scarce, alas. As mentioned earlier, the hot rumor of late is that Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman are planning to unveil a plan that would have a cap-and-trade system for emissions from electric utilities and then a separate "carbon fee" for oil and other transportation fuels, with the revenue either getting funneled back to consumers or used for projects that reduce oil consumption. And there are even some signs that this strategy could boost the bill's chances of passage. Darren Samuelsohn reports that the trial balloon is going over well with the big oil companies, who prefer the fee approach to a single unified cap-and-trade program: If accepted, the approach?supported by ConocoPhillips, BP America and Exxon Mobil Corp.?could rearrange the politics of the Senate climate debate and potentially open up votes that may not be there otherwise. by OutloudOpinion

Episode Description
When you consider the differences between Democrats and Republicans on health care, you probably think in terms of scale. Democrats want to enact a big reform, while Republicans favor incremental progress. House Minority Whip Eric Cantor coos, ?We want to take a much more commonsense, modest, incremental approach, trying to address the first issue first, which is cost, and then go on to try to deal with some of the things that the president and Speaker Pelosi want to do.? Within a recent six-month span, Republicans on the Senate floor used the phrase ?step-by-step? to describe their approach to health care an astonishing 173 times. by OutloudOpinion

The Public Isn?t Enthused About Health Care Reform. So What? 3.3.10

Episode Description
?With the passage of time,? former Bush administration official Pete Wehner writes today, ?President Bush?s decision to champion a new counterinsurgency strategy, including sending 30,000 additional troops to Iraq when most Americans were bone-weary of the war, will be seen as one of the most impressive and important acts of political courage in our lifetime.? Wehner may turn out to be right. And his argument has broader implications that deserve our attention. Wehner tacitly defines political courage as the willingness to go against public opinion in pursuit of what a leader believes to be the public interest. Fair enough. And unless one believes?against all evidence?that democracies can do without courage, so defined, it follows that there?s nothing necessarily undemocratic about defying public opinion when the stakes are high. After all, the people will soon have the opportunity to pass judgment on the leader?s decision. And they will be able to judge that decision, not by the claims of its supporters or detractors, but by its results. by OutloudOpinion

Obama and the L-Word The president?s habit of telling untruths 3.9.10

Episode Description
Here?s how predictable the president?s slippery relationship with the truth has become: Hours before the State of the Union address, Washington Examiner reporter Timothy P. Carney posted a ?pre-emptive fact check? that, among other things, prebutted any presidential claim to have ?stopped the revolving door between government and corporate lobbying.? As it happened, that night Barack Obama made an even bolder (read: less truthful) claim: that ?we?ve excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs.?

The Other Broken Windows Fallacy: The NYPD is accused of under-reporting serious crimes while manufacturing petty ones. 3.9.10

Episode Description
One of the central themes of the critically acclaimed HBO series The Wire was the pressure politicians put on police brass, who then apply it to the department?s middle management, to generate PR-friendly statistics about lowering crime and increasing arrests. The show, based in part on co-creator Ed Burns' experience as a narcotics cop at the Baltimore Police Department, was a running narration of the chasm between what politicians and the public consider to be effective crime fighting techniques and what measures actually make cities safer.

Bulldozing the American Dream: It?s time to kick Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac out of the housing market 3.9.10

Episode Description
Taxpayers have already spent more than $111 billion bailing out mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and that's going to be just the tip of the iceberg. Instead of limiting Fannie's and Freddie's bailouts to $400 billion as first planned, the Treasury quietly announced (on Christmas Eve, no less) that it would offer the two firms unlimited bailouts. This puts taxpayers on the hook for any losses the two firms suffer. And there will be lots of losses.

A Raw Deal: Farms selling milk straight from the cow vex food regulators, but the demand isn't diminishing.. 3.3.10

Episode Description
The word "raw" sounds like something exciting and maybe a little dangerous. It makes you think of bloody steaks and wrestlers and untanned hides. "Milk," on the other hand, evokes just the opposite: motherhood, kids with sippy cups, and Oscar-winning movies. Maybe it?s the uncomfortable juxtaposition of the two ideas that makes certain people so nervous about raw milk. As demand increases, state legislators, regulators and courts are all reexamining the issue of raw milk. But as some jurisdictions legalize while others crack down, farmers and milk drinkers are stuck in limbo.

Weaponizing Mozart: How Britain is using classical music as a form of social control 2.25.10

Episode Description
In recent years Britain has become the Willy Wonka of social control, churning out increasingly creepy, bizarre, and fantastic methods for policing the populace. But our weaponization of classical music?where Mozart, Beethoven, and other greats have been turned into tools of state repression?marks a new low. We?re already the kings of CCTV. An estimated 20 per cent of the world?s CCTV cameras are in the UK, a remarkable achievement for an island that occupies only 0.2 per cent of the world?s inhabitable landmass.

Everyone Who Knows What They're Talking About Agrees with Me 2.24.10

Episode Description
Is man-made global warming happening? Can nuclear waste be stored safely? Do concealed handguns reduce violence? Think about those questions for a minute. Then think about your thinking: Why do you hold those particular views on these controversial issues? And do scientific experts agree with you? The Yale Cultural Cognition Project has been probing the question of cultural polarization over scientific risk issues for a number of years. The project?s latest working paper, ?Cultural Cognition of Scientific Consensus,? analyzes the question: ?Why do members of the public disagree?sharply and persistently?about facts on which expert scientists largely agree?? As examples of strong expert scientific consensus, researchers led by Yale University law professor Daniel Kahan selected three recent National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reports dealing with climate change, nuclear waste, and gun possession.

The Visible Persuaders: Advertising as a medium for truth telling 2.22.10

Episode Description
Covering up the inconvenient facts of his résumé, donning new identities the way other men change suits, the hidden persuader at the center of AMC?s Mad Men has a talent for duplicity that would seem to place him squarely in pop culture?s rich canon of ad industry villains. But even with his fake name, appropriated past, perfect show family, and less than ethical approach to client management, Don Draper stands apart from the cynics, hoodwinks, hacks, and evil mesmerists who populate the pages of such anti-advertising tomes as The Hucksters, The Hidden Persuaders, and No Logo. At home in his dining room or at a fancy restaurant wooing clients, Draper may be a lying, boozing con man. But when he?s in his office, dreaming up catch phrases to sell products, the specters of candor and authenticity possess him. ?You are the product,? Draper tells a neophyte copywriter. ?You, feeling something. That?s what sells.? He doesn?t just want to sell us the sizzle of girdles and popsicles; he wants to sell us their souls.

February - Health Care in a Free Society - Paul Ryan

Episode Description
SOMEONE once said that before there was the New Deal, there was the Wisconsin Deal. In my home state, the University of Wisconsin was an early hotbed of progressivism, whose goal was to reorder society along lines other than those of the Constitution. The best known Wisconsin progressive in American politics was Robert LaFollette. ?Fighting Bob,? as he was called, was a Republican?as was Theodore Roosevelt, another early progressive. Today we tend to associate progressivism mostly with Democrats, and trace it back to Woodrow Wilson. But it had its roots in both parties. The social and political programs of the progressives came in on two great waves: the New Deal of the 1930s and the Great Society of the 1960s. Today, President Obama often invokes progressivism and hopes to generate its third great wave of public policy. In thinking about what this would mean, we need look no farther than the health care reform program he is promoting along with the leadership in Congress. Brought to you by OutloudOpinion.com

December - Education, Economics, and Self-Government - Larry Arnn

Episode Description
I have been asked to talk today about education and economic development. The standard thing to say on this topic is that the former is vital to the latter. We live in the modern world, so we all have to be highly informed and highly skilled and understand the power of modern science. It is a task of the very first importance to train a workforce that will be able to compete in the global marketplace. That is the standard thing to say, and we hear it said often by education bureaucrats from the federal level on down. And of course it is perfectly true, as far as it goes. But there is more to be said.

November - The Future of Western War - Victor Davis Hanson

Episode Description
I want to talk about the Western way of war and about the particular challenges that face the West today. But the first point I want to make is that war is a human enterprise that will always be with us. Unless we submit to genetic engineering, or unless video games have somehow reprogrammed our brains, or unless we are fundamentally changed by eating different nutrients?these are possibilities brought up by so-called peace and conflict resolution theorists?human nature will not change. And if human nature will not change?and I submit to you that human nature is a constant?then war will always be with us. Its methods or delivery systems?which can be traced through time from clubs to catapults and from flintlocks to nuclear weapons?will of course change. In this sense war is like water. You can pump water at 60 gallons per minute with a small gasoline engine or at 5000 gallons per minute with a gigantic turbine pump. But water is water?the same today as in 1880 or 500 B.C. Likewise war, because the essence of war is human nature.

October - President Obama?s Foreign Policy: An Assessment

Episode Description
I think it is important, on the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, to take a look at our foreign policy and to judge whether or not we?re on a path to becoming safer. In doing so, we should not be intimidated by those who say that criticism of foreign policy?criticism that suggests we?re less safe as a consequence of certain policies?is somehow disloyal or hyper-partisan. It is the essence of political debate over foreign policy to judge whether the interests of the United States are being protected and advanced. If we believe they are not, it is our responsibility to speak out.
