The Answer Earned
The question asked is the answer earned. Questions and answers have imperative value. The question is an attribution yield. If the world is flat because it looks flat, then going too far west, you fall off the edge. The detriment … Continue reading

Objective Inequality
Compulsively obsessing over Ted Cruz is a fallacy of the ad hominem variety. Focusing on the cult of personality, we crowd out evaluating policies and programs in a meaningful way. Causal attributions are trivialized. According to pop media, for example, … Continue reading
Gaming Intendency
Gaming is a distraction. When Ted Cruz and the Tea Party caucus dominates the legislative process, “elevating the discussion on Obamacare,” we’re not talking about how Republican policies and programs are generally detrimental. Instead of elevating the discussion, GOP gaming … Continue reading

Having a Fit to Survive
The Republican Party is dying because its policies and programs do not fit the vast majority of Americans. Its agenda in fact proves to be highly detrimental. The probability it will change is none because that would mean the rulers … Continue reading

Spreading the Risk
Spreading the risk is a highly valued, pluralistic attribute. It is a method that yields lower costs while supporting the price. The ACA relies on a mandate to pluralize the risk, but because it requires market participation, the pluralistic benefit–the … Continue reading
Profit and Persuasion
Objectivism is both persuasive and profitable. Paul Ryan, for example, well known as an avowed Objectivist, operates with the power of the purse, appointed by the House to negotiate the federal budget, admittedly persuaded by Objectivist philosophy. A good political-economic … Continue reading
Creating the Destruction
Since government is the problem, Republicans tell us, just shut it down. The problem goes away. What appears is our natural identity: unequal distribution of income, more supply than can be demanded, unemployment, and inflation. More supply is created than … Continue reading
The Attribution Yield
During the latest round of crisis management, Democrats referred to the action (and inaction) of Republicans as “flat-earth” and “scorched-earth” economics. Democrats say Republican tactics yielded a net, economic detriment. For Republicans, however, a government shutdown, and depreciated government debt, … Continue reading
Failure of Democracy?
Failing to analytically value the identity (the intendency) of the actors, the latest budget battle, which shut down the federal government and threatened the risk-free value of America’s treasury debt, it appears that “democracy” is a failure. Not exactly. American … Continue reading
Doing Damage
For the Objectivist policymaker, being unaffected by the damage policies and programs do is a strength, not a weakness. For Paul Ryan and Rand Paul, for example, a government shutdown and reducing full faith in its credit is a virtue, … Continue reading
