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 […]

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 […]

It was a giddy time in DC for liberals back in January of this year. They had wiped the GOP off the political map and had control of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. 15 years of pent up frustration, built up since the GOP takeover of Congress in 1994, had finally been released. The old […]

Major Update: The Obama Administration and DC Congressional liberals are out on the Sunday morning news shows with a whopper of BS on health care costs – we have not scored savings from increased health! This is so naive and lame it is laughable. How do you score increased health as a cost savings? Will […]

Update: Here is a tragic chart showing 16 13 states with unemployment over 10%, Michigan leading the pack with 15.2%. Many of these states are at or near all time record highs. America can and should measure the Democrats by their record on the economy and jobs. In fact, I dare anyone to sanely argue […]

The economic train wreck is now pretty much unavoidable. The deficit numbers out for June make that clear, and assuming the same employment disaster for the next few months, President Obama and the Congressional Dems are on a path of historic economic screw ups.  The Wall Street Journal has some of the sobering data out […]

The Liberal Democrats are best experienced during times of hardship – where decisions and priorities actually count. When things are rosy and we have money to invest their fantasies seem quaint, and who can argue about absolutes like ‘protecting the environment’, even though clichés are really just lazy ways to deal with tough challenges and problems by […]
