It's interesting to watch Democrats nationally get more "populist" in the last month of an election. Nice work Anthony. Another factor is important. In the last 20 years, education has been the biggest determinant of income and during that period, income has reached it's greatest point of inequality since statistics ...

Good lord David. This one is way simpler than that. Texas has oil pure and simple. They are the #1 oil producing state and the tax revenues oil brings in allows them to fund government and colleges without an income or a sales tax. and it brings in billions of ...

I love your work David but you got this one just plain wrong. Having worked on the inside both in the Senate and the House, I can't think of two leaders who have been more loyal to each other over the years.

As usual, an insightful analysis John. It is a math issue. The party in power usually loses seats in the off year when they are in the white house and the economy and consequently the budget would work against incumbents. Those are very big factors. I've always thought the two ...

Blame the economy on 911?: David, Your editorial on the debate was a bit of wishful thinking. First of all, you migth be able to implicate Locke in the 2003 budget but you have to be smoking something to let Bush off the hook for the current economy. Two botched ...
