    It is true that an appalling number of men are out of work.

    But we cannot ignore the numbers who are basically unemployable due to their criminal record.

    One statistic that I read is that there are 5 million ex-cons in America, and at least one-third of them are unemployed.

    This cannot be fixed by tinkering with marriage rates or unemployment benefits.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
