A Rush to Action

Recently the Congress has once again reacted to persuasive news that required an immediate response. They bailed out the financial industry when Paulson and the President told them there was a major catastrophe that would occur if they did not. Rather than prudently going over the books and insisting on due diligence before they rushed [...]

Complacency is Our Downfall

We Americans are a short-sighted people in many ways, and unfortunately, that myopic vision leads to distressing results.
Now that oil prices have lowered, Americans do not feel compelled to support exploration of new clean energy sources because they can go to the gas station, fill up the car, and the cost is not prohibitive. So [...]

Throw All 545 People Out!

I got this in an e-mail this morning. It’s well worth reading. Why do we not see this for what it is…incompetent and in some cases, corrupt, leadership!
545 PEOPLE

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign [...]

Leading With Kindness

A New book, a new day. As I watched an interview with one of the candidates on Sunday where he commented how the U.S. should lower taxes for corporations so they will stay in the U.S. rather than going where they can find cheaper labor and better tax advantages, I was appalled.
Here we see the [...]

Financial Re-Education of Americans

At the office we were talking about the issues of the economy and overspending on the part of Americans. I.E., who is ultimately responsible for our individual economic messes? And we decided that each of us has to be responsible for our spending and purchase of things we either can or cannot afford.
One of the [...]

When Do We Take Responsibility for our Spending Habits?

It’s fascinating to watch the charges/counter-charges flying between the Republicans and Democrats. The trivia factor has become nauseating to say the least, and we sit here waiting for someone to be presidential (including the one we already have) while the stock markets rise and fall in the face of economic uncertainty.
True to form, it seems [...]

Hey… Send the Bailout This Way!

If you haven’t seen this, here’s a logical and creative way to end this whole economic mess by someone who prefers to remain anonymous (gee, too bad. Maybe he’s who we should elect for President)!
Hi Pals,
 
I’m against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.
 
Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in a We [...]

Energy Manipulation?

Isn’t it interesting how suddenly the price of oil is plummeting? But wait…didn’t we have limited supplies? Wasn’t there some very important reason that the prices were high other than high demand?
Interesting to ponder that since both presidential candidates are talking about renewable energy investment and pursuit, the price of oil is dropping dramatically. Could [...]

Government Bailouts

I received this e-mail from a libertarian friend this morning, and thought it deserved a place on the BLOG.
“Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.   They failed and it closed.   Now we are trusting the economy of our country to [...]
