…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”. Collectivism and totalit…
… 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 …
…n those people started leaving and the homeless population and street youth began moving in.” Free Speech The camps have cropped up in cities nationwide to protest economic disparity. Demonstrators decry high foreclosures and unemployment rates that plague average Americans while large bonuses were issued by U.S. banks after they accepted a taxpayer-funded bailout. Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker on Nov. 11 announced the city would stop issuing…
…trumped by collectivism. Survival of the fittest is a myth. The only way out of our economic malaise is to re-educate Americans with government programs, including tax-subsidized community college education. The solution to unemployment in the construction industry is to stop building houses in the private sector and redeploy workers to build public sector projects. We all must pay higher taxes if we want to succeed as a nation. Tax cuts simpl…
…lt. George is an electrical engineer working in the civilian defense industry. We Did This To Ourselves As I was driving to work this morning, I received a one line email from my friend Frank DeMartini entitled, ‘The Unemployment Rate’. It read, “It’s at 10.2%….Need I say more….” For the past several months, Frank and I have gone back and forth about the merits of the Stimulus Package, and of Kensyean Economics in general. After…
…ave large deficits for years to come. Maybe what he’s really doing is dampening expectations. I’m sure this makes the 7.2% of the American population that is unemployed quite happy. By the way, when was the last time that the unemployment rated jumped four tenths of a percentage point in one month? I can’t remember, can you? This recession will end when the cycle has ended. Housing prices will stabilize when the bubble has fully burst. Unemployme…
…to think. The biggest spending package in the history of the United States, in the guise of a stimulus package, is now law. Unfortunately, as I have said many times in the past few months, it is not working and will not work. Unemployment is up. California has just hit double digits in that category. The banks are still not loaning and foreclosures were up 30% in February. The economy is shrinking, although at a much slower pace than Obama and Pe…
… into the military industrial complex? That would create hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs. Not the piddly few that the current stimulus plan is going to create. Maybe, the cuts in the military budget will also increase the unemployment rate? One of the cuts to military spending that already went into effect is the elimination of re-enlistment bonuses. This is unprecedented. I guess President Obama has decided that it is more beneficial to the …
…s rules that have cost more jobs than all the other rules. Obama killed Louisiana’s offshore deepwater drilling industry and is working overtime to try to stop America’s only booming industry… natural gas. Unemployment for blue collar workers is much higher than 9 percent and perhaps that is why she was booed? In addition, NASCAR fans tend to lean to the Right, so Michelle Obama and Jill Biden willingly walked into the lion…
