Economy

It was just recently reported that when Obama worked in an ice cream parlor, in Hawaii, as a teenager, he gave his friends free ice cream.

No big deal, you say. All teenagers do that. You have probably done that.

That in and of itself is the problem. Our Values have eroded and nothing but a return to the strictest moral conservative values will return us to where we need to be as a country and the leader in the world.

Its starts with a few scoops of ice cream and ends up with the giving away of billions of dollars without an end in sight.

Meg Whitman, the former boss of eBay is running for governor of California. And she should. So should more people that know anything about running a business and nothing about politics. Not that she does not know about politics, who doesnt. But she know how to run a business and that is what we need right now, as Washington is spending billions and has no idea what they are doing.

  THE Personal, Is Political.  Poverty Awareness Day

How soon we forget. Or are we really that clueless? Are we really just a "what did you do for me today" society?

STOP blaming the Obama administration for the wars in Iraq and Afganistan. Remember who started them?

STOP blaming the Obama administration for the economic conditions and the failure of the stimulus packages. Remember who took eight full years to get us where we are today?

By now everybody has heard, read about, or maybe even experienced first hand, the tactics employed by the republican party and their operatives to disrupt town hall meetings at which healthcare reform is discussed.

Yes, its disruption without substance.It is not average citizens expressing their views. There is no view expressed when some load mouth just shouts down a meeting.

Yes, I did mean to say that. The problem with California's economic meltdown is the excersise of pure democracy by its citizens.

We do not have a democratic form of government. We have a representative form of government. What is the difference? We elect representatives who in turn are charged with running government, hopefully, to some extent, after some deliberation and consideration of how proposed laws will affect the big picture.In a pure democracy, on the other hand, the majority prevails on any issue.

It all started innocently enough. A national campaign, in real trouble, needs a boost. A sane decision just will not do it. It would take a stunt or two to bring it back to life, even if ever so briefly.

That was of course the tactic of John Mccain. First, he suspended his campaign for a couple of days to deal with the economic crisis. What a stupid stunt!! Then, he picked Sarah Palin for his running mate. What a second stupid stunt!!

But hey, if that is the new trend in politics, why not try it again?

The Economy Is So Bad...

CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

Even people who have nothing to do with the Obama administration aren't paying their taxes.

In our modern society, too often we see big Government impose regulations on goods and services.  If a good is seen as mutually beneficial by two parties, who is the Government to interfere with their transaction?  However, it i key this mutual cooperation does not infringe on any person's individual rights.

Millions of Americans have declared bankruptcy over the years. Same with businesses big and small.

There have been some notable ones, especially in the airline industry. In the end, the process usually works. More often than not.

So why are we making such a big deal about the auto industry having to go into bankcruptcy? If you look at the numbers, there is no other choice.
