It is painfully obvious that most of the so-called “solutions” being implemented to remedy our current economic woes have virtually no chance of working.
Things have now reached the point where BAD BEHAVIOR is being REWARDED. Not just tolerated, rewarded. At the expense of those who have demonstrated GOOD behavior.
The “mortgage bailout” […]

Congress is trying to work out a “stimulus” plan to help revive our troubled current economy. As usual with politicians, they cannot stay focused on the REAL goal and are compelled to treat this as just another opportunity to push their agendas, support pet projects, payback political debts, and generally just spend money. […]

This is the most confusing time in our country that I can remember. While I have not always understood every nuance of government action, political moves, or economic gyrations, I’ve generally been able to recognize why most things happened. Not so, today.
It reminds me a lot of the investment confusion during […]

With all the discussion of the current economic “stimulus” plan, it is becoming clearer and clearer that the vast majority of people have either lost sight of the real purpose of government… or have consciously chosen to ignore it and pursue their own personal agendas. It is times like these that a review of […]

While fingers are pointing in all directions to lay blame for the current financial calamity, and there’s plenty of blame to go around, it seems that most people agree — at least tacitly – on the root fo the problem. Getting some to say it out loud is difficult, however, since saying it DIRECTLY seems […]

While I believe SOME kind of economic recovery plan needs to be passed to minimize the problems brought on by the current problems in the financial markets, I do NOT believe we can trust all of Congress to solve a problem that they, themselves, brought on. If a rush plan is implemented it is far […]

Here we go again… some economically ignorant Congressmen are jumping on the results of a recent report by the GAO that indicates companies try to avoid paying federal income taxes.
First, please remember that companies don’t really pay taxes… people do. Companies pass taxes through as a cost of doing business. Their customers pay the taxes. […]

I’ve often spoke of the need for our education system to be reformed. It has become too institutionalized, supports primarily the needs and wants of the teachers and teachers’ union (which has become one of the single largest political entities) rather than the requirements of the students, our children, the next generation of leaders of […]

In general terms, there are two prevalent types of governments. Those where citizens have freedom from government interference and live in a state of mutually-rewarded cooperation with each other… and those where there is less freedom and many rules of conformity, which are commanded by a centralized authority.
Each has problems… but I choose the one […]
