View PostWhy Grover Cleveland Vetoed the Texas Seed Bill
Warning: History follows. You might actually learn something. Grover Cleveland was the last U.S. president with a valid claim to be known as a classical liberal.

American Thinker: Do We Really Need to Raise the Debt Ceiling?
In the last week I’ve read at least four syndicated columns which contained the following argument: were the Congress to resist raising the debt “ceiling,” the full faith and credit of the United States Government would be endangered.
