Excerpts:

“Both inherited an American economy in collapse. And both applied daring, expensive remedies. Mr. Reagan passed the biggest tax cut ever, combined with an agenda of deregulation, monetary restraint and spending controls. Mr. Obama, of course, has given us a $1 trillion spending stimulus.”

“There is something that is genuinely different this time. It isn’t the nature of the crisis Mr. Obama inherited, but the nature of his policy prescriptions. Reagan applied tax cuts and other policies that, yes, took the deficit to unchartered peacetime highs. But that borrowing financed a remarkable and prolonged economic expansion and a victory against the Evil Empire in the Cold War. What exactly have Mr. Obama’s deficits gotten us?”

“Entrepreneur’s Credo

I do not choose to be a common man,
It is my right to be uncommon … if I can,

I seek opportunity … not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen.
Humbled and dulled by having the
State look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk;
To dream and to build.
To fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;

I prefer the challenges of life
To the guaranteed existence;

The thrill of fulfillment
To the stale calm of Utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence
Nor my dignity for a handout

I will never cower before any master
Nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect.
Proud and unafraid;
To think and act for myself,
To enjoy the benefit of my creations
And to face the world boldly and say:

This, with God’s help, I have done
All this is what it means
To be an Entrepreneur.”

— Thomas Paine (Common Sense)

Former University of Southern Indiana All-American baseball player Darin Mastroianni was called up to the major leagues this week by the Toronto Blue Jays and started in centerfield Wednesday night against the Kansas City Royals in Toronto. The rookie outfielder was hitting .266 in the minor leagues this season with 35 RBIs, 28 stolen bases, and three home runs while splitting time between Toronto’s New Hampshire Double-A team and Las Vegas Triple-A squad.

Mastroianni was drafted in the 16th round by Toronto in 2007 after leading the Eagles to their first NCAA Division II regional championship and a third-place finish in the Division II World Series. The former All-American second baseman batted .409 for the Eagles in 2007 with a school-record 97 hits and 64 stolen bases.

USI fans can see the Blue Jays battle the Royal at 6:05 p.m. (CDT) tonight on MLB.tv or on Fox Sports Kansas City and Toronto.

Mastroianni is the third Screaming Eagle to play in the majors and the first USI player to get the call up since Kevin Brown joined the Texas Rangers in 1996. Brown also played for the Blue Jays in 1998 and 1999.

The first Eagle to play in the majors was Jeff Schulz in the 1980s as a member of the Royals and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
