Economic Illiteracy? Obama: Unemployment benefits create more jobs than Keystone pipeline
Anyone who believes that government can't create jobs is fooling himself. Every civil servant in America works at a government-created job. When government writes checks to the unemployed, the government creates a job for the person writing those checks, and for the administrators of the department supervising the writing of those checks, and for the postman who must deliver those checks. Moreover, when the unemployed cash their checks, they spend the cash on food, rent, clothing, gas, cigarettes, etc. etc. Jobs are created in the businesses that produce and market these products. The proper questions are: 1) How many jobs or potential jobs are destroyed in the private market when the government taxes individuals in order to payout unemployment benefits?; and 2) Do government-created jobs or private market-created jobs produce goods and services that best satisfy consumer demand?
Economic & Historical Illiteracy? Ron Paul: Tax Rates Should be Zero
I suggest Ron Paul critics, who suggest the candidate is insane because of his proposal that income tax rates go to zero, follow this link: Taxes.Yes, Virginia, there was a time in American history -- some say the most prosperous time in American history -- when the income tax did not exist. Ron Paul's candidacy is not attractive to economic or historical illiterates. It's very sad that some people are so married to the establishment's welfare state they can't imagine a country in which individuals get to keep the fruits of their labor and do with them as they please!
Foreign Policy Illiteracy? Opposing Imperialism Is Not Isolationism
Again, Paul critics need to take the blinders off and open their mind.
Media Illiteracy or Downright Lies?

All is not what it seems.
Monetary Illiteracy? Fed to Weigh Further Easing Amid Doubts About Recovery
Let's pump up the money supply and goose the economy just in time for the November elections. This could be a January surprise. Hardly political insanity. However, QE3 would be an actual instance of monetary insanity, i.e., doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Political Illiteracy? Pat Buchanan on Ron Paul
Pat has always seemed the adult in the room.
