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>Obama's Shock Doctrine (Commentary)</title>
				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9977</link>

				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9920</link>
				<description><![CDATA[President Obama insists that there be no earmarks in his $825 billion package of increased federal spending. But that won't put an end to lobbying and political influence on how the money gets spent. And when politicians get to pick the winners, the economy loses.

				<link>http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=9876</link>
				<description><![CDATA[Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is the new poster boy for political corruption, but he is really just the most recent reminder of the fundamentally grubby and corrupt nature of politics.
