Tom looks at these two, not necessarily the same ideas in governance, from his personal thirty-year journey in politics.

Entitlement programs have become an unsustainable financial strain on every developed economy, dragging those economies to the precipice of the fiscal cliff—if they haven’t already fallen off. This book’s theme is that when politicians set up entitlement programs to provide welfare, health care and pension benefits to certain populations, they overpromise benefits, underfund the programs, and misalign incentives—if not initially, then soon afterward. Over time, future elected officials expand the programs to cover more people with richer benefits, far outpacing the financing needed to sustain them. This book exposes those practices and provides actuarially sound long-term solutions.

This analysis comes from the organizer of the “duty to warn” conference at Yale School of Medicine and editor of the New York Times bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. A 20-year veteran adviser on violence prevention programming for prisons, communities, a ...

The authorities are quick to say that our use of the public streets in our cars is a privilege granted by the state. Those same authorities also say that public streets are “open as a matter of right to public vehicular travel.” What’s wrong with this picture?

In this publication you’ll see a criminal complaint w/supporting memorandum ...
