Here’s a list of articles that I have been reading lately:
American Exceptionalism
www.advancingafreesociety.org
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Is There a Shortage of Primary Care Physicians?
www.advancingafreesociety.org
“Until the early part of the twentieth century, practically all physicians in the United States and elsewhere were primary care physicians, not specialists. his changed dramatically in all developed countries over the remainder of that century, so that at present, over 75% of all American doctors specialize in fields like surgery, cardiology, dermatology, urology, and oncology.”

I agree with Mr. Pariser; I am concerned about the “filter bubble”, which he defines as “”a unique universe of information for each of us”, meaning that we are less likely to encounter information online that challenges our existing views or sparks serendipitous connections. “A world constructed from the familiar is a world in which there’s nothing to learn,” Mr Pariser declares. He calls this “invisible autopropaganda, indoctrinating us with our own ideas”.”

“Fifty-five years ago, freedom reigned for a brief moment in Communist Hungary. On October 23, 1956, student protesters marched through the streets of Budapest demanding an immediate end to their Soviet-dominated government.”
The GOP’s Debt-Ceiling Divide

“In The Wall Street Journal’s Potomac Watch column, Kimberley Strassel writes that the Biden talks are giving budget hawks a chance to carve away some of the Republicans’ own sacred-cow subsidies.”

“President Obama has a new term for the people he wants to tax more: jet owners. The problem is that most people that would be subject to the higher taxes the president wants aren’t likely to be private-jet owners.”
