As the summer of 2010 ends, people are desperate to get back to work – but there are not enough jobs. Thanks to the Democrats lame, liberal fantasy about government-based stimulus spending, the majority of the economy that DOES NOT work for Uncle Sam is still struggling to get by. After 2 years of liberal [...]

If the Democrats had not been so stubborn towards across the board tax cuts, we probably would not be in this extended recession. Tax cuts ALWAYS spur economic growth and job creation, as people who have money and survive the down turn decide to take a gamble on a new business idea. Presidents Reagan, Kennedy [...]

As the Obama-Reid-Pelosi economic policies hit their stride the horrid results are coming in: The U.S. economy grew more sluggish than initially estimated in the second quarter, and corporate profits nearly dried up, further evidence that the recovery is losing steam. Gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced, rose at an [...]

Update: I must have been channeling Charles Krauthammer this morning: Now we know why the country has become “ungovernable,” last year’s excuse for the Democrats’ failure of governance: Who can possibly govern a nation of racist, nativist, homophobic Islamophobes? Note what connects these issues. In every one, liberals have lost the argument in the court [...]

Bombshell Update Below! Powerline has a post out today discussing evidence the stimulus bill did not lessen unemployment, as the Obama administration and Democrat Congressional Leaders claim: Those who tout the bill point to a study by liberal economists Alan Blinder and Mark Zandi purporting to show that the fiscal stimulus enacted under Presidents Bush [...]

As we all end our summer season as best we can, given this horrid economic mess the Democrats have saddled us with, it is important to recall the false promises made by the liberal economists who were so sure government could spend our economy out of a recession.   This Keynesian theory, which dates back [...]

Whoever got the lame brain idea government spending – fueled by running up massive deficits and debt – would ‘stimulate’ the economy is eating some crow now that the government’s own key indicators show no evidence of any stimulus: The recovery lost momentum in the spring as growth slowed to a 2.4 percent pace, its most [...]

I have been saying since the NJ & VA blow out elections for governor in 2009 the Dems were in deep trouble for 2010. In fact, I predicted that the parameters of the stimulus bill rushed through congress in February 2009 would be the foundation of dramatic democratic failures in 2010. Here is what I [...]

Liberals run on silly fantasies. Fantasies about the great, all-knowing, all-wise government bureaucrat being the saint compared to the sinner corporations. The idea corporations reward and foster innovation and success while the bureaucrats reward time in should tell you all you need to know about that fantasy. Liberals believe the fantasy that government gouging of [...]

Barack of the United States (or Bully of the United States) is now mad. Barking mad. The BOTUS got on some liberal news media interview and attempted to show his laser like focus on the Gulf oil spill. Pathetically, all he showed was his depth of incompetence. See, he talked to fishermen last month because [...]

As many may have noted my blogging has dropped off a bit recently. Mostly this is due to an increased cadence at work and trying to survive the Obama economic mess. But it also has to do with a realization that this country and planet are going to be suffering through months of tough times [...]

Lots of false bravado coming out on the latest jobs report for April. Yes, 290,000 jobs (mostly part time census work) were added. But the real measure of employment, the percentage of those out of work from the total work force number, is not budging and has not moved for months. Here is the unemployment [...]

The economy is finally starting to show small signs of improvement, but a recent study illustrates this is not due to the mad deficit spending of the Democrats in Congress & the White House: The recovery is picking up steam as employers boost payrolls, but economists think the government’s stimulus package and jobs bill had [...]

Democrats have a lot of reasons to be concerned about this fall’s elections. Mostly, the economy sucks and will continue to suck for the every day citizen for months (if not years) to come.  Unemployment is stubbornly stuck near 10%, and the weekly job reports have been running in the same narrow band of 400,000+ [...]

The NY Times is out spinning madly today trying to explain why the Democrats are not going to suffer massive and historic losses this election cycle. With between 8-10 senate seats in serious trouble, the NY Times is clearly in deep denial – as is their partner the Democrat Party. I especially loved this line: [...]
