Even the New York Times is running stories on the military ramp-up of local police forces. As armored cars, tanks, automatic weapons and very-high-capacity clips continue flowing into local police armories, it’s hard to deny that the lines between the local police and the military are blurring. During the Obama administration, according to Pentagon data, […]

Lowering the cost of healthcare, preventative measures, cutting out the middle men, researching effective cheap cures, and cutting down on any unnecessary expensive hospital visits (like the ER, for instance).
