"The Greek economy is not production based, it's highly reliant on imports of goods and raw materials," he told The Telegraph. "In other countries where capital controls of this sort of have been put in place, businesses are usually exempted, but not this time. If we can't make electronic remittances, then soon even the most basic goods will not be available."

"No economy functions without banks," said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a senior MP in New Democracy, a centre-right opposition party. "Some people in Syriza think that shutting them down for week is just a minor hiccup, which isn't surprising as many Syriza people have never worked in the private sector. But it's not a hiccup, it's a huge shock."

Supreme Court Upholds Tax Subsidies Under Obamacare
Scalia added, “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not
established by a State is ‘established by the State.’ It is hard to come
up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state Exchanges than to
use the words ‘established by the State.’ And it is hard to come up with
a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose
of limiting credits to state Exchanges.”

FATHER'S DAY WITH THE SISTERS
Free-range thinker George Gilder named the stakes: “If the family collapses, it will take a welfare state to take care of the women and children, and a police state to handle the boys.”

"The controllers of credit"
“TODAY you may say that
all society is in debt to those who hold the levers of credit, and that
when, or if, we lose our freedom altogether we shall have for masters
the remaining controllers of land and machinery, who will have behind
them, as ultimate masters, the controllers of credit.”

Jefferson on Debt-Based Currency
"If the debt which the banking companies owe be a blessing to anybody, it is to
themselves alone, who are realizing a solid interest of eight or ten per cent on it. As to
the public, these companies have banished all our gold and silver medium, which, before
their institution, we had without interest, which never could have perished in our hands,
and would have been our salvation now in the hour of war; instead of which they have given
us two hundred million of froth and bubble, on which we are to pay them heavy interest,
until it shall vanish into air... We are warranted, then, in affirming that this parody on
the principle of 'a public debt being a public blessing,' and its mutation into the
blessing of private instead of public debts, is as ridiculous as the original principle
itself. In both cases, the truth is, that capital may be produced by industry, and
accumulated by economy; but jugglers only will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks
with paper." --Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:423

Chesterton Sanity
But private property ought to be protected against much bigger things than burglars and pick-pockets. It needs protection against the plots of a whole plutocracy. It needs defence against the rich, who are now generally the rulers who ought to defend it.

Socialism is but the completion of the
capitalist concentration
They do not really want to give him any
political power. They are willing to give him a vote,
because they have long discovered that it need not give him any power.
They are not willing to give him a house, or a wife,
or a child, or a dog, or a cow, or a piece of land, because these things
really do give him power.

Colonization and Cultural Genocide -- and They Call it 'Immigration'
Race and ethnicity matter because, as Dr. Walter Williams put it, they can serve as a “proxy” for harder-to-observe qualities. A couple of these are ideology and voting tendencies: The groups represented by 85 percent of our new immigrants vote for socialist-oriented Democrats between 70 and 90 percent of the time. Leftist immigrationists are importing their voters — and the destruction of Western civilization.

Singles nation: Why so many Americans are unmarried
There is little debate that American adults are far less likely to be married than they were two generations ago. In 1950, married couples represented 78 percent of households in the United States. In 2011, the US Census Bureau reported, that percentage had dropped to 48 percent. In 2014, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 124.6 million Americans 16 years and older were single, or 50.2 percent of the population, compared with 37.4 percent of the population in 1976.

Rachel Dolezal’s Brother Says She Warned: “Don’t Blow My Cover
Ezra believes the only reason his sister would change her identity was due to the racism she claimed to have encountered at Howard University, where she graduated with her master’s degree in fine art in 2002.
Rachel, he added, would often complain that she was treated poorly as one of only a few white students on a mostly black campus.
“She used to tell us that teachers treated her differently than other people and a lot of them acted like they didn’t want her there,” Ezra said. “Because of her work in African-American art, they thought she was a black student during her application, but they ended up with a white person.”

Obligation of Contract
http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/72/obligation-of-contract
Mr. KING moved to add, in the words used in the Ordinance of Congs. establishing new States, a prohibition on the States to interfere in private contracts.
Mr. Govr. MORRIS. This would be going too far. There are a thousand laws, relating to bringing actions-limitations of actions & [FN14] which affect contracts. The Judicial power of the U. S. will be a protection in cases within their jurisdiction; and within the State itself a majority must rule, whatever may be the mischief done among themselves.
Mr. SHERMAN. Why then prohibit bills of credit?
Mr. WILSON was in favor of Mr. King's motion.

The Institute’s Influence on Legislative Policy
Americans with Disabilities Act. The AIA
“played a significant role in developing the ADA legislation,
initiating and shaping a number of provisions that should make the
law more workable for architects, employers, and building owners.
Those provisions include the treatment of historic properties,
alterations to existing buildings, and the alignment of existing
state and local buildings codes with the act,” writes the
editor of Architecture magazine in 1990. The AIA
Memo reported, “The ADA will have a profound impact on
the design and construction of new public and commercial buildings,
as well as the alteration of existing structures. The act is
designed to end discrimination of people with disabilities in
employment and at workplaces.
