Awesome new stats coming out of LA Times, and Derek Thompson at The Atlantic does a fabulous cut and paste job: While they make up only 15% of the country’s workforce, Latinos have racked up half the employment gains posted since the

Tea Party Babies! I want to talk economics with you. In the annals of the American Economy there was a golden age where we did not face a choice between Big Government and Big Business. Back before FDR, there was

So we got ourselves a Super Congress…hopefully, Boehner will put himself, Paul Ryan, and Joe Walsh on it. I want the imperfect Tea Party freshman who allegedly owes child support to have a voice. They are all likely imperfect; I

I’ll keep this short. No one understands “what” is going to be cut. Saying discretionary spending is going to be cut over ten years sounds like a Nigerian email scam. So please Boehner, for the love of god, listen to

Sen. McConnell’s contingency plan on the debt ceiling is to pay $2.5T to topple Obama. And if I were 100% SURE it would end IMPOTUS, I’d support it. But since there is no guarantee, it’s better to gird our loins

Ok, Tea Partiers… this is a gift from the Guerrilla Hacker Gods – so please pass it along. Obama’s team has decided to “raffle off” dinner with IMPOTUS. That’s right… you can sit and tell the President directly to his

[youtube KfJBRFhinqE] Mitt’s not my first choice. If Perry (c’mon Governor!) doesn’t run, I prefer(ed) Daniels and Christie because they are heroic public employee union slayers. And I love Drew’s dream Tea Party ticket of Cain and West to confront

In my last post, I explained the best way to end unemployment is an Ebay / Paypal style solution to auction off the “Man Weeks” of our unemployed: All registered workers are guaranteed an income of $10,400 per year, at

I’m about to perform a healing. For those non-believers out there… like magic, it will terrify and then delight you. Maybe it’ll scare the jesus into you. I warn even the staunchest Christian; this will test your mettle. It will

President Obama made a giant error in letting “never had a real job” Timmie Giethner and “heck of a job” Larry Summers slither around his administration’s neck in 2008. Lucky us. We must not make the same mistake. We need

The contractual mortgage screw-up by the banks gives us a great way to speed up the recovery and reclaim what was lost in the the Great Bank Heist of 2008. If you haven’t been paying attention to the MERS violations,

The challenge for the Tea Party movement is to identify specifically: What would you do?” the president said. “It’s not enough to say ‘get control of spending.’ I think it’s important for you to say, ‘I’m willing to cut veterans’

Democrats have been protesting that only 3% of small businesses are affected by the Bush tax cuts… this is technically true, it is also true that almost all the small businesses that create jobs are part of this 3%. The

I have a hypothesis about the “New Normal” economy we face. Most, if not all, of the unemployment crisis can be blamed on Public Employees. A bold statement to some…. but on paper it looks suspiciously valid. Essentially, upper and

A good looking, fun loving guy sits down and writes a few blog posts about how to ensure the Republican Party wins both houses in a 2010 landslide, and beat Obama’s ass in 2012… he figures his job is done.

A recent blog post by economist Scott Sumner got me thinking about another way we could quickly improve our government. We should require Public Employees to take personality exams before they are hired. At issue is human “spite” and how

Many fine Republicans argue we should privatize Social Security. Just like George Bush – they are right. They are noble. They are dust. The last time we mentioned it, we found our ass booted around our neck. An obscene daisy.

I just made a donation in Michelle Malkin’s honor to the GOP. Let me say right up front, I’m not a religious guy. I support Republicans because they are the party of Small Business, they are the party of Liberty.
