August Jobs:Carol Browner , until recently, a socialist international group leader, is probably the real leader of the president's environmental goals, basically wants to transfer as much of your labor to government, as voters will allow. Hopefully, the electorate will prevent this destruction to our economy, our freedom and position of world leadership. Ms. Browner is a GLOBALIST who believes that by lowering our living standards and redistributing more of our earnings to other countries, fairness and evenness will result. Another example of The Constitution Be Damned. The world economy cannot come close to maintaining present living standards without fossil fuels for the next 25 years, to say nothing of improving the lives of the 3 or 4 billion, in most countries, who now live on less than $2 a day. The extremists in this movement have enormous power over the Democrat Party This movement has planted a seed, that profits, damage the environment, suggesting an uncaring attitude from those who want a reasonable energy policy. We must elect 25-35 year olds who will vote to make us truly energy independent by voting for: Drilling now Nuclear energy which is safe and has provided 80% of France's energy needs for years Clean Coal Not only could we pay less for a gallon of gasoline than we now pay, we could help our poorest citizens with fuel costs, we could stop sending $600 billion a year to our enemies to buy foreign oil, we could add badly needed high paying jobs to our economy while increasing revenues to the government from a much broader labor force. We are being very foolish and very complacent by letting these zealots exert such destructive power over an entire nation. Technology now allows us to have clean, safe, energy from all these sources. The positives for our living standards, these actions would bring, are overwhelmingly positive.  Custom Search
POLITICS OF PAYOFF By BEN STEIN January 31, 2009 Full article Ben Stein New York Post Excerpts: I LOVE this. The new kind of politics of hope. Eight hours of debate in the House of Representatives to pass a bill spending $820 billion - or roughly $102 billion per hour of debate. Only 10 percent of the "stimulus" to be spent on 2009. Close to half goes to entities that sponsor or employ (or both) members of the Service Employees International Union, federal, state, and municipal employee unions or other Democrat-controlled unions Published December 19, 2008 Smart Money Ahead of the Curve by Donald Luskin (Author Archive) Current Recession Is No Great Depression Full article Donald Luskin Smart Money Excerpts: I've been complaining for years about how excessively pessimistic everyone has been about the economy and the stock market. But I have to admit, now that the economy is in recession and the stock market has taken a serious hit, all the pessimism is serving some useful purposes. First, pessimism has driven stock prices down to levels that make them terrific bargains. If you've been a long-suffering value investor, frustrated by decades of high prices, then your day has come. Stocks are cheap -- at last.Second, pessimism has given everybody a healthy respect for the risks that our economy faces now. Sure, it's annoying when people falsely compare today's economy to the Great Depression. But because we're talking about it, that means that we're unlikely to repeat the mistakes that created the Great Depression in the first place. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the number of new jobs created in September 2007 was 110,000. Average for the last three months-97,000 new jobs. Since August 2003, the economy has created more than 8.1 million new jobs. Custom Search The national unemployment rate is at 4.7 percent. Since 2003 tax cuts per capita personal income has increased more than 12.5 percent -- an average of $3,750 per person. More than 30 percent of the country's net worth has been added since the president's 2003 tax cuts. Excluding agriculture employers added 132,000 people to June payrolls. The previous two months were revised upward, while unemployment held at a very low 4.5%. Markets seemed to get it both ways as far as improved wages and mild inflationary prospects. Even though the job market is tight which gives employees a degree of independence, there seems to be little threat of inflation from those wage gains. Presently it appears as though there is no immediate danger of the Fed raising interest rates.
Plenty of job creation is taking place and inflation is low. These seem to be very prosperous times yet the Mainstream Media constantly dwells on any negatives that exist. As pointed out by Investors Business Daily on 5-5-06 The Associated Press recently highlighted the following: "New Hiring Slows." "Wages Raise Inflation Fears." "Companies Aren't Hiring." "Slowdown Ahead."
