The plan.. or what-ever that was? As far as fixing the economy… I won’t do much. It’s will add a few more jobs, but will do nothing to fix the underlying structural problems that are weighing down the economy like an anchor around the neck. Politically though, it’s a good move. By throwing everything and […]
My blog-pal Dan at Gay Patriot has glowing praise for John Huntsman’s economic plan, published in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Dan writes: Jon Huntsman has taken a lot of grief from conservatives as being a RINO while winning acclaim from the left-of-center media establishment as a “grown-up” type of Republican. On Sunday talk shows, […]
Due to the brain-washing that goes along with politics, some people just have these blind spots when it comes to certain topics, driving them to mental paralysis when it comes to recognizing problems. For both Liberals AND Conservatives. the effect of government regulations on businesses is a sticky wicket. I can hear some of my […]

As Europe continues to go to hell in a handbasket, we get THIS bit of disturbing news. If the incidences where people are having to buy staple like food and gas with their credit card are going up, then we are that much closer to those people defaulting on those cards, because, well, if they […]
Europe: 1920’s – After the extremely expensive World War 1, Europe’s financial system was in tatters. Germany was expected to pay reparations to cover the costs of restoring economies in neighboring countries, due to a war they helped create and perpetuate. Fast Forward some 90 years.

This, from new and apparently, important, blogger Jonathan Rauch: The economy is tanking. The country may be about to default on the national debt. And what are the Republican political candidates debating? Gays. Because, you know, Republican candidates have NOT been talking about the poor economy and their solution for this whole time! Even non-candidates […]
Compliments of the Weekly Standard, which, apparently, doesn’t seem to have any standards. Concerning a new report issued by the White House on the dreaded ARRA stimulus package of 2009, they write: When the Obama administration releases a report on the Friday before a long weekend, it’s clearly not trying to draw attention to the […]
