The Cato Institute seeks to broaden the parameters of public policy debate to allow consideration of the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and peace. Toward that goal, the Institute strives to achieve greater involvement of the intelligent, concerned lay public in questions of policy and the proper role of government.

				<title>The 'Stimulus' for Unemployment (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10970</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Why did the unemployment rate rise so rapidly &#8212; from 7.2 per cent in January to 10.2 percent in October? It was clearly the administration's "stimulus" bill &#8212; which in February provided $40 billion to greatly extend jobless benefits at no cost to the states.

				<title>Redistributing Health (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10623</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Proponents of compulsory, government-designed health insurance can't seem to understand why others disagree. Perhaps the public is realizing that these proposals are fundamentally about redistributing health? 

Health-care "reform," that is, aims to shift costs and benefits of health insurance fro...]]></description>

				<title>A 10 Million-Person Exaggeration? (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10627</link>
				<description><![CDATA[In Washington, the word "reform" is used (like the word "stimulus") to mean grandiose federal spending plans. The Congressional Budget Office has emerged as the key arbiter of the latest Congressional plans to increase and redistribute federal spending on medical care. That is unfortunate, because t...]]></description>

				<title>Hey, Big Spender (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10478</link>
				<description><![CDATA[A recent New York Times editorial sermonized on the need to fight health care inflation. It declared that the Obama Administration "seems headed in the right direction to finally slow the rate of growth in health care spending." That is nonsense.

Health care spending equals the sum of public and ...]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[So it seems that we aren't going to have a second Great Depression after all," wrote New York Times columnist Paul Krugman last week. "What saved us? The answer, basically, is Big Government &#8230;  [W]e appear to have averted the worst: utter catastrophe no longer seems likely. And Big Government...]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[India, Japan and the U.S. repeatedly deliver unaffordable and ineffective spending proposals.

				<description><![CDATA[General Motors can survive bankruptcy far more easily than it can survive President Barack Obama's ambitious fuel economy standards, which mandate that all new new vehicles average 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016.

				<description><![CDATA[The laureate gets his history wrong.

In his June 15 column, "Stay the Course," Paul Krugman suggests it is simply foolish to worry that the government could possibly borrow too much, or that the Federal Reserve might buy ("monetize") too much of that debt.
