The American economic system is alive and well, and it is celebrated with this week's Freedom Forum in Cape Girardeau. At this three-day assemblage, 150 or so high school students gather to discuss the basics of American economics and government. We see this as a valuable extension of the education of these young people, putting students in touch with the mechanisms of making this democracy work...

Their guaranteed universal coverage plan set up a seven-member Health Care Board (dubbed in this space the new "Politburo of Health Care"). ...
