OK, this really isn’t economics 101, but a more topical discussion of the impact of BHO’s proposed punitive windfall profits tax on oil companies. Now, economics makes most folks get glassy-eyed, so I will spare you the math and theory, those who care to seek out the theory, the writing and the math please […]

Well, she certainly has a sense of humour if scantily clad. Reclining in a pool-side sun-lounger, Ms. Hilton says: “Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity, too. Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot.”
“But then that wrinkly, white-haired guy used […]

Barack Obama’s stealth socialism can be defined by this term, which Obama uses frequently, “economic justice” Simply put it is redistribution of wealth and a euphemism for socialism. Obama discusses these words in term like “restoring fairness to the economy”, according to Investor’s Business Daily which is a code word for “soaking” the “rich”-which he […]

The AFL-CIO endorsed Obama. They have released two mailers. The first mailer is here:
• “Does he wear a flag pin on his lapel? Yes, but not always. Like many presidential candidates, sometimes he wears a flag pin, sometimes he wears a breast cancer awareness pin, sometimes he wears his U.S. Senate […]

So, the blaring headline today is that the next president is going to inherit a GAZILLION dollars in debt. Okay, that was not the exact figure. The actual figure is $482 BILLION, which does not include $ for the war.
So, once again, here is a video of Jim Cramer, from Mad Money on CNBC, […]

Part of the Clinton Derangement Syndrome we have witnessed this election cycle puts forth the theory that anything that happens is Hillary’s fault. Senator Obama, the DNC elites and the media never miss an opportunity to try and sell this phony bill of goods to the public.
