Maxine Waters thinks everyone will lose their job over sequestration, and then some

March 1st, 2013 | No Comments

I kid you not: For what it’s worth, as far as Maxine’s impact on me, I don’t blame Maxine for being stupid, I blame the voters of California’s 43rd District for voting for her. These people right here: She’s been saying stupid stuff for years and the people of Los Angeles just keep voting for [...]

Harry Reid thinks the private sector is just fine

October 19th, 2011 | No Comments

Seriously.  He does: “The massive layoffs we have had in America today, of course, are rooted in the last administration, and it is very clear that private sector jobs are doing just fine. It’s the public sector jobs where we have lost huge numbers, and that’s what this legislation is all about,” he said. BLS [...]

See if these two maps seem to have a running theme.  First, Map 1.  No titles, no labels, just ten pins: If that doesn’t seem clear enough, try this one: That is the ten richest counties in the USA according to the 2010 census.  What do you think the odds are that five of them [...]

President Obama has told everyone that we need to quit harping about health insurance and focus on creating jobs.  Everything he does, according to him, is about creating jobs.  Health care reform will create jobs, the financial market reforms will create jobs, cap and trade will create jobs, card check will create jobs.  He’s never [...]

Obama wants to create jobs, here’s another suggestion: SPREAD THE WEALTH Now, that alone should appeal to Obama.  But, as with all ideological one-liners, it needs some substance to it.  “Change” sounded great, but people are realizing now without specifics, whether ignored or not mentioned, it doesn’t do anyone much good.  With spreading the wealth, [...]

Went to recovery.org to see how many jobs had been saved this week.  Particularly, I was interested in my home town.  It had seven projects listed.  I had a problem with a few: Chattanooga (TN), Independence (OH), Seven Hills (OH), Madison (TN), Nashville (TN), Lexington (KY), Louisville (KY), Nicholasville (KY), Knoxville (TN), Kings Mountain (KY), [...]

The White House Jobs Forum

December 2nd, 2009 | No Comments

President Obama has decided the unemployment situation is bad.  He has a point.  It’s now as bad as it was when Reagan fixed Carter’s mess.  So, he decided to have a get-together with minds that he thinks will fix the problem.  Now, in my relatively simple world, the best way to cure unemployment is to [...]

That’s the story we’re being sold.  It’s hard to understand exactly where those jobs come from, but here’s a stab at it: President Barack Obama hits three nails on the head with his plan to cap carbon emissions: weaning us off fossil fuels, spurring a wave of investment and job creation, and putting cash in [...]
