With the ever-increasing role the federal government is playing, the state of primary and secondary education in these United States has over the last thirty-plus years decayed – tragically, tremendously and inexorably. President Jimmy Carter’s 1979 gift to the teachers’
Barack Obama’s latest rhetorical and policy prescription assaults on Americans who make money are his alleged “jobs” and “deficit reduction” plans. In which the President calls for nearly half a trillion dollars in new taxes – under the oh-so-tired guise
We have spoken often of this last four years being the Third Age of Bailout. Where we have seen trillions of dollars of our coin shoveled out of D.C. in innumerable terrible directions. A $1.09 trillion, 29% increase in annual
There has been news aplenty about the Solyndra solar power company. The chock-full-of-Barack-Obama-Administration-cronies-and-donors corporation that received more than half a billion dollars in government-guaranteed loans to build the alleged future of energy. Which President Obama hailed as such after the
One of my life’s maxims is: Education and knowledge are often mutually exclusive. With the Barack Obama Administration’s all-out assault on the for-profit higher education industry, one of the books I have long intended to write is becoming ever more
We have spent the last three-plus years in the Third Age of Bailout. During which we have spent trillions of public dollars trying to create (“or save“) private sector jobs. The results have been simultaneously disastrous and completely ineffectual. And
You’ve heard the expression “building on success.” Where you identify something that’s working – and work to maximize and further broaden its fruition. In large part by determining what’s working – and seeking to replicate it. The Left has always
As the Tea Party and its Less Government agenda continue its ascendancy, Leftists and the DC GOP, the establishment, chequed-golf pants Republicans, have gone through serial ideological and numerical contortions. So as to feign the appearance of getting with the
The transformation of General Motors (GM) to Government Motors (GM) has cost a lot of Americans a lot of money. Many, many of them under questionable and in fact illegal circumstances. Let us begin with the $50 billion ‘We the
We have oft-written about the flagrant disingenuousness of very many of the D.C. political class. What those of us here in the Real World refer to as “lying.” This serial falsehood-ity is executed in large part to buttress and bolster
If you are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a company that has received $50 billion in federal bailout coin, there are certain things that you realistically shouldn’t say or do. Both from a substantive policy and an optics perspective,
We have discussed – often and at great length – the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s illegal, Congressional end-run power grabs. On, for example, both the wired (your Ethernet cable) and wireless (your cell phone, iPad, etc.) Internet – so as
To the unrestrained amusement of the completely disengaged Democrats in the Senate and White House, the House Republican Leadership spent all day yesterday, indeed all week, beating the heck out of their conservative, Tea Party contingent to vote for an
In this, the third Age of Bailout, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)’s $50 billion General Motors (GM) bailout (upped from $20 billion by President Barack Obama) is yet another unmitigated disaster. But a few of the many failures: GM
The entire political landscape is currently engulfed in debt ceiling flames, for largely artificial and concocted reasons. This man-made inferno is now centered around and fixated upon the August 2 so-called “drop dead” date for reaching a deal to raise
More Breaking News: As you may have noticed, the sun rose again today. The Huge Government crowd always demands ever more regulations of and more taxes on those who do the hiring in the United States – the “evil corporations”
President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats face in 2012 running for reelection into the stiff headwind of a terrible economy – largely of their own making. In just the last four years, the federal government – run by a
When it comes to the Barack Obama Administration and “deregulation,” their words are often belied by their actions. In January, President Obama placed quill to parchment for the Wall Street Journal and claimed his Administration had since Day One worked

In the Bizarro-world that is Washington, D.C. – and the federal government in possession thereof – the word “success” does not mean what it does here on Planet Earth. It in fact often means exactly the opposite. Let us take
General Motors (GM) continues apace its government-backed conversion from a company existing to manufacture automobiles for money – into a fully-formed, Leftist ideological entity working as another wing of the Barack Obama Administration’s fundamental transformation of America. A de facto
We are in the throes of the Barack Obama Administration’s systematic, systemic assault of the free market. Every facet of our nation where private endeavor has brought us to the heights of individual achievement and general populace betterment is now
We have recently heard very much about the Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)-induced flood of released documents. They show that the anti-free market group Free Press worked quite closely with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) uber-Democrat Commissioner Michael Copps
We have oft discussed the Orwellian manner Leftists do, well, everything. And specifically how they go about naming their gaggles – the groups they form to advance their Leftist agenda. The Media Marxists looking to eradicate all private ownership of
We have seen a wide array of Barack Obama Administration wings make up jobs numbers and claims in an attempt to bolster un-bolsterable policies. First there were the gigs – not created, but allegedly “created or saved” – as the
