All The Way

I think the argument goes this way. The Country can not afford the Obama health care plan and besides it is not the role of government to be in the health care business. Some are quick to add that they want the Government to keep its hands off Medicare. I wonder if these people (who [...]

Where Next?

Here is a something to think about. Most media experts have pronounced the Democratic Congressional majorities over (as of this fall’s elections). And while they are not predicting it yet, most hint that President Obama will be a one term President. The Democrats and the President will be swept from power, pundits say, because America [...]

The Pledge

The outlook appears gloomy. Unemployment is high, good jobs seem to be no where. Cutbacks and givebacks are bombarding the average American. Congress members say one thing and do another. The 24/7 news entertainment media proclaims President Obama the worst President in history. Republicans appear on the verge of regaining control of both the House [...]

Wake Up

Do you know anyone who has or had breast cancer, or other serious life threatening disease? Do you know anyone who is unemployed or would like to leave their current job and look for a better one? Do you know anyone who has a son or daughter who recently graduated from college and has not [...]

Plan B

Previously I have associated the term “plan B” with what do you do when what you want to do does not work? Even the morning after birth control treatment was aptly named plan B. Now there is a new concept associated with plan B but this new application raises unpleasant questions. Today’s newspapers are carrying [...]

What A Deal

Voters will have a choice on November 2. Rural and conservative types can vote to throw out the bums (mostly Democrats). Urban and progressives can vote to save the Country from the types that got us into the mess we are in now. In either case, no matter which side prevails, voters should have little [...]

Starting Point

The US has an unspeakable Federal Budget deficit, an enormous and growing National debt, and no political idea how to eliminate them. The question everyone should be asking is why is there no path forward. The 24/7 media, most of the seasoned politicians, and all of the new eureka (give power back to the people) [...]

The China Myth

China is manipulating its currency in order to hold a preset exchange rate with the dollar. Myth or Truth? You must be living under a rock if you do not recognize that China has held a long standing policy of fixing the rate of exchange between the US and China. There should be no doubt [...]

House of Cards

One of the great conservative cries these days is to keep Government out of health care and roll back the changes President Obama signed into law recently. These critics claim (falsely) that US health care is the “best in the world” and they do not want government getting between them and their doctor. Great rhetoric [...]

Good or Bad?

Yesterday’s primaries brought some huge surprises and some sad disappointments. Christine O’Donnell’s victory over Representative Mike Castle in Delaware was spectacular, and Representative Charles Rangel’s was sad at the other end of the spectrum. But were these nomination victories good or bad? O’Donnell’s win was hailed as a Tea Party success. Credit also accrued to [...]
