Unemployment. It was the first issue the liberal Democrats in DC claimed they had answers for, and they even mapped out their plan for success in taming our beaten economy using government spending programs. To see why the Democrats are not credible takes only one simple, powerful picture: Click to enlarge. That dark blue line […]

Don’t have time for a long post on this not surprising news, but the unemployment rate jumped in August to a 26 year high: U.S. employers cut a fewer-than-expected 216,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate rose to a 26-year high, the government said on Friday in a report showing a still fragile labor […]

I have to admit, while I opposed him in the election I had hoped my concerns over President Obama’s inexperience and far left tendencies would not be a major handicap for the man. Sadly, I was right – the President’s naive team has pretty much wasted all his political capitol and he and the Democrats […]

Democrats are about to do in 7 months what it took the GOP to do in 7 years, and that is piss off and offend the independent center of this nation’s electorate to the point the centrists vote them out of power with gusto. It is a multi-pronged problem, but it’s central force is an […]

The liberal resurgence which was so inevitable with the 2008 elections, where the Democrats (and their liberal old dog guard in DC) took the reigns of power in DC. It looked as if America was in for years of leftward tacking. But leave it to those whacky liberals on the far left and their grade […]

President Obama’s administration has announced (because the law demands most likely) that the liberal policies he and the libs in Congress enacted to fix the economy have failed. And fail so miserably we will be living this economic nightmare for another year – right up until the 2010 elections for Congress: U.S. unemployment will surge to […]

Seems the Obama administration is getting a little testy over the fact that Americans are simply not enthralled with their efforts to date. Rasmussen is showing another precipitous drop in support for our young President today, which would indicate another group of one time supporters have moved to become opponents: “Strongly Oppose” outnumbers “Strongly Supports” […]

It is clear now that the stimulus bill passed by the liberals in DC, which contained paltry tax cuts but massive pork spending, as not stimulated the job market as promised.  However, the bill has allowed one element of our society to go untouched by the economic downturn- government bureaucrats (and unions): While the private sector […]

Liberals came to DC thinking America would allow them to indulge in their most extreme left wing fantasies. They horribly misread the public’s mandate when they threw the GOP out of power and gave President Obama and a Democrat led Congress a chance to prove they could solve problems. As usual, a party dominated by […]

On the way in to work today the news was all about the pending unemployment report and how it will be bad. It wasn’t bad – the nation’s job losses leveled off  between June and July: Employers throttled back on layoffs in July, cutting just 247,000 jobs, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment […]
