A Big, Fat, Greek Mess

A Big, Fat, Greek Mess
The U.S. stock market has done a turnabout from “whoopee!” to “yikes!” in the space of one week, as word comes that the Greek government is on the verge of imploding (literally, judging by the pictures). While European mandarins were backslapping one another last week about “coming to a solution” about the dissolving Grecian economy, the Hellenes were busy making other plans. No, Read More [...]

Time to Go

Time to Go
With a dozen more debates looming on the horizon it is time to narrow the field of potentials in the GOP primary.  I will not lie.  There are eight candidates that I would like to see drop out tomorrow, but I think a more realistic number is three: Michelle Bachmann.  I started out as a fan of Congresswoman Bachmann.  She has been an outspoken critic of Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and other left-wing boondoggles.  Read More [...]

Cain’s Big Break

Cain’s Big Break
Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan has come under attack from various directions.  Many, including myself, appreciate the boldness of the plan and basic premise that good will come from discarding the current, complicated, and bought and paid for tax code.  A simple plan will save money for individuals and companies since resources will not be wasted in complying with the plan and it will save money for the government be Read More [...]

Rick Santorum’s Fatal Economic Flaw

Rick Santorum’s Fatal Economic Flaw
Rick Santorum’s economic plan seems to be centered on getting manufacturing jobs back from overseas by making us more competitive.  This is a fatal flaw in his economic plan and the primary reason why I do not support him. It shows one of two things, either Mr. Santorum does not understand the realities of economics or he will be willing to further manipulate the markets to bring those jobs back.  Manipulating Read More [...]

Tyranny: An American Way of Life?

Tyranny: An American Way of Life?
A century into the progressive domination of politics, and the slow creep of statism has led to a massive government promising its citizens everything from subsidized childcare and medical care to free education and retirement pensions. Of course, these benefits of simply being born in this country are being financed by productive citizens, while liberals accrue all the credit by merely waving their hands from the Read More [...]

Equality’s No Gini in a Bottle: No Link Between Wealth Concentration and Per Cap. GDP

Equality’s No Gini in a Bottle: No Link Between Wealth Concentration and Per Cap. GDP
The refrain is familiar and steady that America’s income distribution is growing increasingly unequal, and the rich need to pay their fair share.  The fundamental misconception is that somehow the rich are unfairly benefiting from the country’s capitalist economic system. If they are, then certainly the role of government has more to do with any unfairness than the market system itself, which ensures t Read More [...]

From American Dream to American Fantasy: Debt and Denial Will Lead to Real Nightmare

From American Dream to American Fantasy: Debt and Denial Will Lead to Real Nightmare
The American people have been in fantasy land for about a century, as they wrongfully believed they have been living and working in a free economy. Fortunately, many have woken up, but find themselves in a heavily regulated, unendingly manipulated, and shamelessly taxed snare of bureaucratic barbwire. The regulatory morass is there to frustrate anyone who has a dream and actually wants to accomplish it without fall Read More [...]
