The West blames Russia for the bloody mess in Syria, but U.S. Special Forces saw close up how the chaotic U.S. policy of aiding Syrian jihadists enabled Al Qaeda and ISIS to rip Syria apart
At the top of the list of people who need not be competent to keep their job are economists. Unlike workers in most occupations, when large groups of economists mess up they can count on the media covering up their mistakes and insisting it was just impossible to understand what was going on.

Freeing Corporate Profits from Their Fair Share of Taxes Is Not the Deal America Needs
There’s obviously plenty to criticize regarding Donald Trump’s claims and characterizations about the problems facing the U.S. economy during last night’s debate. But one thing that stuck out clearly was his peddling the myth that profits of U.S. corporations are “trapped” offshore by U.S. tax policy, and that these profits “can’t” be returned to the United States “until a deal is struck.”

Resisting the Dictatorship Mindset
Politics isn’t everything. Though everything has a political dimension, it is never the only dimension. The state, with its monopoly on coercion through physical violence, is the everyday arbiter of politics. We have the ability to create parallel, voluntary, non-violent institutions that can reduce our dependency on state intervention. If we want to “get our country back on track,” our own independent initiatives must go together with trying to pick a suitable head of state.
Legalizing Discrimination Would Improve the Education System
Policy makers should realize that there are types of discrimination that are actually beneficial for teachers, students, and the rest of society. Discrimination in hiring employees increases the likelihood that children are educated by teachers that are aligned with their interests and abilities. Discrimination in enrolling students increases the probability that all students are in a successful, specialized learning environment.

Obamacare's Maze Turned Millions into Lawbreakers
Because of the complexity of the ACA, about 3 million households failed to reconcile their 2015 tax credits as of April 28, 2016. Many people were probably unaware they have to file additional forms. $11 Billion more was paid out in subsidies than reported by tax filers.
Keynesianism Is the Real Trickle-Down Economics
Regardless of the label used, no one doubts that the primary mechanism for raising the return to work is providing each worker with better and more numerous tools. Keynesians advocate stimulus programs believing that the spent money will gradually "trickle" through society. This is much closer to the caricature of "trickle-down economics" they always talk about.
Why Was Coffee Drinking Once Scandalous?
The commercial availability of coffee actually contributed to the advance of women’s rights! None other than Johann Sebastian Bach satirized the puritanical fear of coffee in his delightful and witty “Coffee Cantata.”
Judge Learned Hand stated that "anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands." (Gregory v. Helvering 69 F.2d 809 - 1935)

In the 34-year history of USA TODAY, the Editorial Board has never taken sides in the presidential race. We're doing it now.
