Failed Policies Of The Past? Keynes vs Laffer…by John Allen

It is pretty clear by this time that President Obama’s “stimulus bill” did not work. President Obama will try to salvage it and claim it’s working, or that really it was a two-year project (I don’t remember hearing that at the time), or that it was really only meant to “stabilize” the downturn (his [...]

GM’s Bankruptcy (Union Payback) Deal…by John Allen

With word of GM’s Obama-mediated bankruptcy yesterday, a few thoughts came to mind:
- How do you think Ford is feeling right now? Despite having financial trouble only slightly less dire than GM and Chrysler, Ford didn’t beg for a government handout. And, because of that, they will be put at [...]

Barack Obamanomics: The Anti-Free Market by Jonathan Vander Veen

I can’t think of any system that could be more fair or efficient, or just plain better, than the free market. You have many “consumers” and many “producers”. The “producers” are offering their products at a price that will bring about the greatest profits while the “consumers” are looking for the best deal. [...]

The New Anti-Business President … by John Allen

I recently finished reading Amity Schlaes book, The Forgotten Man, in which she describes many of the follies of FDR’s handling of the economy during the Great Depression. One point that is made over and over is that FDR was an anti-business President. From establishing the TVA to destroy private utility companies to [...]

The $3.4 Trillion Death Blow by Jonathan Vander Veen

What a surprise, the Democrats of the House and Senate adopted Obama’s $3.4 trillion budget blueprint. This is $3.4 Trillion for next year! One-third of this massive budget is being borrowed and no one on the left is even thinking twice about the severe consequences that will come about as a result of this outrageous [...]

Why Does Obama Hate America? by Jonathan Vander Veen

While observing what has been happening during Obama’s first 100 days, listening to his speeches both here and abroad, and seeing the policies that he has either enacted or is having his sheep in Congress prepare to enact, I have to ask the question: Why does Obama hate America?

After becoming the President of the United [...]

Who Needs the Best of the Best When You’ve Got Big Gov Running Things by Jonathan Vander Veen

I have been thinking about all of the industries in which Obama has increased the role of the government and became frightened at the thought of no longer being able to rely on a specialist, or in other words: someone who is the best of the best, to lead these industries. Here are a few [...]

Who Ya Gonna Call: Bubble Busters by Jonathan Vander Veen

Turns out Obama has the power to regulate market bubbles. He is going to make sure that we never have to experience the effects of a market bubble again. According to Obama, he is going to end the “cycle of bubble and bust.” This guy truly is amazing! I mean, this guy is amazing enough [...]

But, but, but…you’re getting $400!…by John Allen

The tax day tea parties were a huge success by any measure. Drawing over 250,000 people nationwide on a weekday is a pretty impressive feat. Especially since most conservatives work for a living and have a hard time making it to an afternoon rally. This is a movement that the left is obviously trying to [...]

Another One Of Those Articulate Speeches; As Some Might Say by Jonathan Vander Veen

I finally had a chance to read through another one of Obama’s misguided speeches. First of all, I just want to say that I am not hearing that amazing and angelic orator that so many others are hearing. I mean, uh, umm, if, uh, umm groups of letters like uh and umm make [...]
