Two Energy Questions I Dare You To Ask Aloud

I have two questions on energy? The first, why has gas fallen to around $70 a barrel and we are still paying over $2 dollars a gallon for our auto fill-ups? Secondly, why do so-called Johnny come-lately environmentalists picket power plants in America for their carbon emissions and then these same so-called environmentalists turn around [...]

Fair Trade, Free Trade, The Economy, And Joe The Plumber

I believe Obama hit a home run when he said that we need not free trade but we need free and fair trade. Fair trade is the ticket and that is what so many people fail to discuss or address. Unfair trade is exactly why the rule of supply and demand no longer works. Think [...]

You Cannot Debate The Merits Of A Presidential Debate

The third and last presidential debate is considered to be a last chance opportunity for Senators for John McCain and Barack Obama to get their message across to undecided voters as well as one more chance to motivate their respective support bases. So for all you idiots who justify your laziness by saying you do [...]

The Real Market Economy Recovery

The simple rule of supply and demand means that there will always be equilibrium in the market place which will balance out based on the teeter-totter effect that as cost rises demand goes down, when demand goes down the prices drop and when the prices drop demand rises. However, this concept was based on an [...]

Environmentalists Are Starting To Run Wild

Can someone tell me just how much power we are going to allow so-called environmentalists to have in modern society? I am all about keeping the planet clean and green and I want all forms of life to live in peace and harmony. However, when individuals who are not versed in engineering sciences tell Americans [...]

Politics As Usual Won’t Get It

Let’s keep this real simple so that the politicians understand us, every import we buy is a dollar out of the country. Let me say that again, every import you buy is a dollar out of the country, and these dollars won’t come back. I laugh at the idiots who say we must buy American [...]

How To Save The American Economy

Get this straight and then pass it on, America and the world for that matter, is in a financial crisis for two reasons, unfair trade with China and India and the inability for countries to remain competitive through any other means other than finding the cheapest labor. You can also say that rising energy prices [...]

The Real Way To Fix The American Financial Crisis

Bailouts and tax checks don’t mean a thing if Americans are not put back to work and the bleeding of American cash and jobs is not stopped. All the bailout did was create more deficits so that we can continue to allow big business to operate as they outsource our jobs but still try to [...]

Debate Debaters And Expect More Than A Mere Bailout

If the bailout plan, or bailout bill as it’s called, was soo important then why did it get slowed by the pork barrel additions of extras such as accommodations for wooden arrows, wool, and other pet projects? If these elections are all about the wind of change in Washington then why at one of our [...]

The real Economic Bailout needs

Sure the current economic crisis is brought on by bad mortgages but why were these bad mortgages given, for the same reason people reinvest in the stock market right after a severe drop, because the economy always comes back. However, be cautious, the underlying problem which caused the mortgage bubble to really burst is the [...]

Now We Have To Bail Out The Bailout?

The bailout plan failed to pass through Congress and immediately after its failure the Republicans appeared on camera and advised that they killed the bill because of Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi and her so-called pointed statements.  First of all, the fact that most Republican voters are not concerned about this crisis is not [...]

Presidential Debate Needs To Answer Real Questions For Future Americans

The presidential debate is interesting but to listen to both Presidential candidates say that spending is out of control and they both opposed it is absurd. Additionally, neither candidate is saying what we all really are learning, that job losses have cost job revenue which is causing a loss of money in the United States [...]

Bailout Plan must Fix Real American Problems

Do you recall the Bugs Bunny cartoon where the hobo walked by and asked ‘Buddy can you spare a dime?’? Well anyone who has ever laughed and enjoyed the great Bugs Bunny can remember that he flipped a dime to the hobo and told him ‘ Now beat it.’ Imagine if the hobo had asked [...]

American Bail Out Plan Must Include Jobs And Clean Coal

There is only one way to assure that America will not continue to revisit bailouts and foreclosures and that is to provide us with jobs right here in America which will not leave the country and to provide us with a cheaper and cleaner form of energy such as clean coal technology. Bailing out AIG [...]

American Financial Crisis Is Economic Crisis

The collapse of the financial markets is the result of one thing and one thing only, American job losses. You can listen to politicians and the media spin this all you want but the collapse of our markets began the minute the Presidential candidates in 2004 mentioned the losing of jobs that they said Americans [...]

Hurricane Ike Exposes American Problems

Hurricane Ike is giving reason for gas gouging galore. The price of crude oil ahs dropped dramatically so the price of gas should drop as well. However, gas stations are taking advantage of Americans based on the potential threat of a hurricane. It’s ridiculous. They say the refineries will be slowed for two days well [...]

Gas Gouging Is Back, Stop It You Filthy Bastards

The price of oil appears to be headed back below $US100 a barrel based on OPEC’s president saying a cut in supply is unlikely. However, in some states like Michigan the local Gas Stations are hammering drivers by actually raising gas prices. Now is the time for real action by politicians and law enforcement alike. [...]

Unemployment and Political Conventions Rue The Day

The Democratic Convention, the Republican Convention,  even the Ron Paul Convention is academic when you consider the convention occurring at your local unemployment office. And maybe we should not just blame the politicians, maybe we need to hold accountable our so-called American businesses who keep laying off American workers, and offering only American workers buyouts.
