On Friday, April 2 at 8:30 AM Eastern, the US Department of Labor issued its “Employment Situation” for the month of March. Some of the talking heads were predicting that the unemployment numbers would not be very good. In hindsight, they were either right or slightly pessimistic depending upon your comfort level accepting the new reality of unemployment statistics. Here is an excerpt from the March report: • The unemployment rate h…

… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

…ns, but to protect the company and its employees by allowing the company to become viable. The Democratic Congress cannot allow the bankruptcy court to get control of this situation. They must do whatever is necessary to keep labor unions strong and supportive. The unions control them and most importantly, finance them. Evidence of this is very strong. All you have to do is look at the latest union generated campaign promise of the Democratic Par…

… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
