Joseph Arminio

Dr. Arminio has taught at American University and Lincoln University, and founded Statesman Debate Institute (SDI), which provides classically-based speech and debate coaching for secondary-school and college students. (Strictly educational and refraining from advocacy, SDI does wonders for keeping an open mind!) Not only a commentator on the economy and statecraft, Dr. Arminio has served as a consultant to members of Congress and to the Defense Department, and ran for the US House in Maryland. He chaired The National Coalition for Defense (NCFD), whose board numbered nearly fifty major personages, including sitting members of Congress and retired flag officers. MIT awarded Arminio the Doctorate in Political Science.
