Stonewall Understanding The New Normal

The government’s efforts to save the economy have met to date with mixed results. On the positive side, the larger banks have shown profits, with even Citigroup producing a profit of sorts. On the negative side, unemployment is increasing and underemployment is skyrocketing. The media has termed this the new normal. The New Normal, modest GDP growth and rising unemployment, stems from the failure of government to understand basic economics. The economic equivalent of Boyle’s Law is that you can… Continue

Stonewall What Conservatives Miss About The Financial Crisis

The Conservative mantra of the day blames the current financial crisis on the government’s over-regulation of an otherwise sound banking system. They want you to believe that the crisis stems from an intrusive government forcing lending standards lower by government fiat, namely the CRA. While the government is at fault here, the government's intervention in the banking system is only a small component of a much larger problem. People think for a second. The entire sub-prime market is only 500… Continue

Mr. Right-of-Center "America's Jobless Chill"

"Especially with Democrats seeing electoral losses in governors' races in New Jersey and Virginia on Tuesday, it's time for more to be done on the jobs front. It's increasingly clear that the stimulus act from last February was both too small and poorly designed (though it was responsible for most of last quarter's growth). Observers – like me – who call for more federal aid to drastically cut state budgets, a jobs tax credit and even targeted investments in future industries may sound like b… Continue

Bill Brown The Demise of American Industry, A Liberal-Progressve Agenda

Originally posted on the Conservative Herald Blog In his best selling book, “Liberty and Tyranny – A Conservative Manifesto”, Mark Levine describes an economic theory called creative destruction. There are times when the Statist interferes with the free market to try to stave off what the late economist Joseph Schumpeter, among others, described as creative destruction. As he explained, Capitalism…is by nature a form or met… Continue

yilliam valdes Who is Obama?

A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with twenty-five others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT second-hand but first. You would do well to read & pass this along to EVERYBODY that loves his country. This is VERY serious for the direction of our country. The ramifications are staggering for us & our children. To my friends and associates: Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is… Continue

Mr. Right-of-Center Just Put It All On The Tab For Our Children And Grand-Children

"Social Security, Medicare-Medicaid, defense spending and interest on the national debt now account for 75 percent of all federal spending. They're on track to one day gobble up the entire budget. Even if everything goes just right for the administration — the economy recovers, new jobs sprout, housing markets rebound and Congress passes some variation of Obama's health care proposals without sending deficits soaring further — the federal government will still find itself in a deepening… Continue

Mr. Right-of-Center 120 Days Into The Economic Stimulus

Is any one feeling the effects yet? Yes, the stock market is up. Home sales are up the last 3 months - though housing prices are still down 17% from last year. I can see road construction all over where I live. But unemployment is still too high. The best economic program on the individual level is a job. 38% of Americans in a poll out today say the economy is their number 1 concern and the primary responsibility of effective government. The criticism of the Obama economic stimulus package… Continue

DC Rogue It's all about the Benjamins (and Independents) baby...

http://dcrogue.blogspot.com/2009/07/its-all-about-benjamins-and.html The polls are out this week and President Obama's approval rating has dropped - it's still at a decently healthy 56%, however as the economy continues on its current course and the average consumer still finds his/her pockets empty, we can expect the rating to continue on this course. Pollsters are pointing at roaming support from "Independent" voters as the reason for the declining approval rating. Apparently they care about… Continue

Drew Johnson President Obama and his first 100 days

It is hard to believe that 100 days have passed since Barack Obama was inaugurated the 44th President of the United States. The President assumed office in the middle of a severe economic crisis, the likes of which the United States has not experienced since the Carter Administration. I will be the first to admit that President Obama inherited a difficult situation that any President would find difficult to overcome. However, he has not risen to the occasion. When Obama was elected there was a l… Continue

Curtis Hier Obama's Messing Up By the Numbers

And the numbers are getting massive. (I'm not going to use numbers. Just a bunch of examples. Try to keep up.) Sure Obama is great. Great senator. (Well, better than Burris.) Great politician. (Well, better than McCain.) Great orator. (Well, better than just about anybody since MLK himself.) But remember the Peter Principle. Obama has been promoted to his level of incompetence. Obama is messing with every good thing that comes out of recessions. It's like a forest fire. Sure, you can put it o… Continue
