Here's a great article about how four House freshmen - all from South Carolina - are sticking together and fighting for pro-growth policies in Congress. Club members helped elect three of them!

I love this time of year. We inch closer to March Madness, the Masters, and just out today, the release of the Heritage/WSJ Index of Economic Freedom. Here's an excerpt from today's WSJ op-ed by Heritage's Terry Miller:

The 2011 Index tells the tale: After two years of doubts and side-steps, economic freedom is again on the rise around the world. That's especially good news for the poor. Countries gaining economic freedom have done a much better job over the last decade in eliminating poverty. They've been more efficient at protecting the environment, better at improving health, and better even, as a new Index study demonstrates, in enhancing life satisfaction and overall happiness. That's a slam dunk for economic freedom.

"Read and re-read the U.S. Constitution.”
“Don’t be afraid to say, ‘No.’ ”
“A member of Congress cannot order a federal agency to do something or decide a matter a certain way. … You may not directly or indirectly threaten reprisal against any federal agency officials, or promise favoritism or benefit.”
“Always assume you’re on camera when you are in the Chamber. Even if you are simply looking at your cell phone, you might appear to be asleep. It’s happened to other members.” (Advice from Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Miss.)

From the always superb Don Boudreaux:
Sarcastic Andy says, "But wait, the government used large aggregates to arrive at a number with an awesome sounding name ("a multipier") that said for every dollar we spend on the stimulus, it would generate $1.57 in economic activity. That didn't work?"

Talking about the economy as if it involves the interplay chiefly of large aggregates such as "consumption" and "investment" blinds Keynesian economists to the real action that takes place at a much more detailed level. It's a very unscientific approach.
