Why do Democrats continue to push for economic policies that have failed in the past (and the very recent past at that)? Well, I will say that it does play well on the campaign trail. It just doesn't work in real life.

The Republican’s front runner for President says outlandish things. The Democrat’s front runner is under investigation by the FBI. Your choice. Choose well.

My question to any of you that wanted to just bring in Syrian refugees without doing what is normally done, and vet them before they come to our country, are you prepared for a situation like they just experienced in Cologne, Germany? Do you know what happened? Germany tried to cover it up or minimize it, so it's understandable that you wouldn't know.

What did we learn from the housing bubble? Well, hopefully we learned, among other things, a basic economic lesson; the easier you make it to buy something, the more the price rises because you flood the market with buyers. You know, that whole “supply and demand” thing. Make home loans easier to get, buyers flock to them, and the prices get artificially inflated; the bubble. The bubble pops when many home owners realize that, while the received the loan, they can’t afford the payments. Foreclosures follow, and then a market collapse. Mess with the market, quickly inflate it, and it will deflate just as quickly.

College tuition is experiencing the same thing. The government has been subsidizing costs like crazy. More students enter the college market, and so colleges can charge more for the limited seats. A recent study has come to the conclusion that the lion’s share of the rise in tuition has come from this very situation. The link’s in the show notes.

Of course, we have a political party in this country absolutely intent on repeating the many mistakes of the past, and pumping more money into their pet causes, without any regard for the results. ObamaCare was the latest example, and premiums are skyrocketing at about the same rate as they were before. But Democrats, and especially Bernie “Mr. Free Stuff” Sanders, wish to double down on this market manipulation. It certainly does sell well on the campaign trail, but you have to pay the piper sometime. And when that happens, there’s always Republicans to blame.

Here are some facts from the FBI investigation of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.  So far, 1,340 Hillary emails at State have been assessed as classified. Remember, she was using her own private server, and classified material isn’t supposed to pass through something like that. That would be a felony for you and me; not her. There was 1 email that instructed a staffer to send classified information over unsecured fax,
