MAY 2013 Never ever underestimate how far our pathologically criminal ruling elite will go in their abuse of power. It has now become borderline ridiculous, the stuff of fiction not long ago. We have reached a point where there seems to be no line that they will not cross and this past month proved […]
MAY 2013 In an effort to try to inject some common sense into the financial calamity that we saw was about to take place back in 2008 we offered up our agenda for getting the country back on track. In the column, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town I took some serious shots at […]
APRIL 2013 Politicians love to stand in front of cameras and microphones, pat themselves on the back and tell us tales of jobs creation and innovation when government and private business work together. The phrase “public-private partnership” gets politicians more excited then a teenage boy at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The phrase […]
SEPTEMBER 2011 Jobs, Jobs, Jobs The Seventh Quarterly Report on the economic impact of the Obama administrations stimulus package shows what little the Keynesian effort accomplished in stimulating the economy.

You couldn’t have figured out that you […]
APRIL 2012 The high priests of the Social Security and Medicare “trust funds” (whatever happened to lockbox?) issued new warnings about the solvency of the “trust funds” they oversee. The Social Security Disability Insurance trust fund will be gone, depleted, kaput in 2016, which is two years earlier than expected. Thank you, masters of the obvious! A record […]
APRIL 2012 I’ve often found counterintuitive notions offer solutions. One of the first, and important of these notions was made by Christopher Columbus.

JANUARY 2012 Poor Sport What a $%^&*#@ crybaby! Democrat Steve Driehaus from Ohio’s 1st Congressional District is throwing a hissy fit after losing the 2010 mid-term election.
