I wasn't fussy about the party. The two parties really weren't, and aren't, as far apart as they seem to like to think. Government intervention and increasing government control seems to be their main agenda. Libertarian and "free market" mentality is making more sense with each governmental move! The time may be approaching for a revolution--"of the people, by the people, and for the people." I am proud to call myself a recovering Republicrat. I wasn’t fussy about the party.

'We' kill our children to save us time and money but destroy future productivity and perhaps more importantly spiritual maturity that is vital in becoming disciplined to be able to embrace fiscal humility. The problem for me is the duality of the last Republican administration which through political expediency embraced fiscal irresponsibility while half heartedly defended traditional moral values like pro-life. One sincere stand for one of these two issues, fiscal responsibility and moral fortitude like protecting the weakest of forms of human life like the fetus, should re-enforce and bring about the other, because both are needed to achieve needed maturity to maintain this order. So, I too drift to the libertarian side of things.

My grandfather was no economist, but he grew up in the great depression and remembered when they stopped backing money with gold. He taught me much of what I have come to learn is an actual monetary theory. We always just called it common sense.

I am originally from Africa, Cameroon and I was somewhat an egalitarian Liberal. Bill Clinton was once one of my political heroes! But, discovering Keynes and not understanding a single words of his precepts led me to an alternative and that's when Mises appeared and provided me with all the answers I had been looking for in economic theory. I have never felt better ever since and, never ceased to research and study what is going on around the world economies and Nations ever since. Sadly so at the meantime, I can't help but cast a sorrowful eye on the world and the way things are managed by a minority of economic and financial thugs. Same here.

Good points. CNBC has probably had a huge boost in traffic/viewership too.

But I think comments like those above offer strong anecdotal evidence of increased interest. The popularity of Ron Paul, hearing people say “Why don’t we just let these banks/auto-cos fail”, and general unhappiness with the bailouts offer more anecdotal clues.

Rather, increased traffic has more to do with good online marketing strategy. Also, I believe that all economic websites would have experienced more traffic with the advent of the economic crisis.
