Some people are just unlearned. Some people are just stubborn. Some people are just stupid. Some people just can’t quit lying. Paul Krugman has to be the latter. His argument for why we should still vote Democrat in spite of the fact their economic policies to date have failed miserably is because we shouldn’t return [...]

More lunacy from the top. At approximately 11:10 this morning, Obama is scheduled to meet with representatives of the financial industry. Last night he had this to say about them: “I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street.”….. “They’re still puzzled why it is [...]

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 [...]

I read Seeking Alpha’s “Bigwigs Debate Too Big to Fail“. It discusses the opinion of several key financial players of the US economy regarding whether institutions can be “too big to fail”, and if so, what to do about them. Very excellent read. The players fall into two categories: Bust ‘em up: Alan Greenspan Simon [...]

No sooner than I post my rant on Obama surrounding himself with communists, Paul Krugman once again proves my point. For those who don’t know, Paul Krugman is an avowed liberal. Damn proud of it too. No sooner than I read the news about Van Jones being a communist, Paul had this to offer: The [...]
