I understand that it is settled science that anything that is wrong in the economy is inherited or due to the Bush administration and that any improvements are due to Obama’s policies. This is as settled as “man made global warming.” Consensus has been reached; got it. But I started wondering, now that we are [...]

It is the week before Christmas and the man-child President Obama writes Santa that he wants a real Thompson sub-machine gun, 5,000 rounds of .45 ammo and a case of live hand grenades for Christmas. Good parent John Boehner thinks that this would be very dangerous to Barack and to anyone within range and refuses. [...]

A year ago I wrote a post regarding Hayek’s comeback as the leading economic philosophy blowing Keynesian economics out of the water. The post can be found here. In that post, I refer to the fundamental economic equation GDP = C + I + G + (X-M), where C is Private consumption, I is Private [...]

Well, the p0litical parties can always use a good issue to raise money. Here are excerpts from some recent emails: Today’s update: John Boehner and his “Hell No” Caucus are STILL refusing to compromise – risking our nation’s economy in a outlandish attempt to tie it to President Obama. Now Rove’s carrying their water with [...]

Expanded Access Study List – Affected States. Take a look at the list. Interesting that the only state not listed as having any post offices up is Delaware. Do you suppose that it is an oversight? Did they forget about The First State? Perhaps the VP interceded? Just in case they fix this later, here [...]

While I have no personal experience with Kevin J Williams and am unfamiliar with his political leanings, agenda, etc. I was forwarded the email found below. Regrettably, there are only 3 screenings, and notice is short. I hope that they’re able to come back to Wilmington with more notice. The debate is critical, and the [...]
Delaware’s Employment Is Down – Unemployment Rate Unchanged – Go “Figure”

Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics… The Department of Labor is very consistent in its reporting & follows the rules & regulations. So, the confusion in the numbers is no reflection on the folks at DOL who are responsible for reporting the numbers in accordance withe the rules. The rules are the rules, after all. Even [...]
Rahm Emmanuel Revisited

Early in the Obama administration, then Chief of Staff (now Chicago Mayor), Rahm Emmanuel, was quoted as saying, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” What followed was two years of deficit spending, two 2,000+ page bills (Obamacare & Dodd-Frank) that no one read, and an aggressive regulatory regime that has shut down the economy.

Oh great!! Carper and Coons have teamed up to spend money that we will have to borrow from the Chinese and Arabs and raise our electric bills at the same time. Thanks Boys! I hope you fail. Spend some time cutting a trillion or so. In case you had not heard, the problem is that [...]
