Bush's decision in 1990 to raise the Reagan tax rates in a deal engineered for him by a White House-Hill coalition, that made a mockery of his "Read my lips! No new taxes!" pledge of 1988.

Has Donald Trump Betrayed His Base?
*Scott McConnell* *Politics, North America* [image: Faith leaders place their hands on the shoulders of U.S. President Trump as he takes part in a prayer for those affected by Hurricane Harvey in the Oval Office of the White House] This time he may have gone too far. When a relationship goes bad, it is not always clear what exactly constitutes the last straw. This is also the case for Donald Trump supporters.

Why Russia, China and Iran Should Fear America's Naval Super Mines
*Michael Peck* *Security, * They could be quite deadly. “Typically, mine delivery has been a low-altitude operation, largely because of the drift of a parachute-retarded weapon,” Pietrucha writes. Today's minelayers essentially use the same techniques as B-29s did over the Sea of Japan in 1945, “often requiring multiple passes with inaccurate, parachute-retarded mines. A B-52 mine-laying pass occurs at 500 feet and 320 knots—too slow to be safe in fighters or the B-1B Bomber. The F-18 and P-3 employ similar profiles, leaving the laying aircraft low, slow, and predictable—a cont... more »
Happy Birthday Marx's Capital
Today marks the 150th anniversary of Marx's *Capital*, for my money the most significant and monumental work of social science ever published. Something would be amiss if a few words couldn't be summoned up to mark this occasion.

Healthcare-- From Otto Von Bismarck To Orange County
Yesterday Bernie released his Medicare-For-All plan. The idea of this kind of coverage goes back a long way. When Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck was unifying Germany in the 1800s, his government came up with a plan for non-profit insurance companies to cover all German citizens. His model was widely discussed in the U.S. and, more or less the one in use not just in Germany but in France, Belgium, Holland, Japan and Switzerland. In the 1930s, New Dealers want dot include universal health care here in the U.S. but conservatives and special interests were too strong and Democr... more »

The Neocon Case Against The Iran Nuclear Deal - One Big Lie!
Why does President Trump listen to Nikki Haley and the neocons when it comes to Iran? Doesn't he know they are always wrong? Trump has been consistent in his animosity toward Iran and especially the Iran deal, but why? Haley claims that Iran gave up nothing for the deal, but that is just not true. Does Trump think the rest of the world is going to follow the US if the US pulls out of the agreement? Or if the US attacks Iran? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:
