I’m convinced that needs to be Facebook’s new tagline. Although other insulting little ditties might work as well, such as: Call the person a racist. Call the person stupid. Call the person a bigot. Project onto the person things you’re doing at that very moment. Or, like I said, just make up something out of […]
Craig Hall, The Business Times I mean, after the abject failure that is the Super Committee, why the hell not? It’s not like it’s gonna work or accomplish anything. And folks, it’s time we faced the music: This is just how our elected officials Washington, D.C., want it. I’m sorry. But I’ve had it. And […]
Kinda has a snappy beat to it when you put it to the old Christmas carol, doesn’t it? I used to sing this tune to my nieces and nephews — bringing tears at times — when I was the cool (or donkey-backside according to my brothers), single uncle who didn’t have to worry about the […]
It’s clear the Barack Obama White House ranks as one of the most activist regulatory administrations in history. Consequently, it’s not surprising the administration argues that regulatory costs and uncertainty aren’t hurting the economy. Jan Eberly, assistant treasury secretary on economic policy, recently tried to make the case for an-all-is-well position on regulation in a […]
I must have hit on a good topic last week as it relates to how the State of Colorado underfunds schools in District 51. I still find myself in conversations with folks who feel strongly about Proposition 3B in Mesa County. The overwhelming sentiment in those communications is that we can’t afford to leave our […]
A lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care law has arrived at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. This terrible, costly law is not only bad policy — utterly failing to deliver on its promises of reducing health-care costs — it adds insult to injury by overstepping its boundaries and entirely […]
But please allow me to preempt the upcoming election season by stating emphatically and pointedly what I’m against — any bill, proposal or candidate that advocates raising our taxes. I’m sorry, but I’m at the point where there no longer exists an argument that can possibly sway my thinking as to how society as a […]
Since late 2008, the Great Depression has made a big comeback in discussions over the economy and public policy. Unfortunately, the lessons that politicians and pundits say we’re supposed to learn often turn out to be dead wrong. But that’s not surprising. Perhaps no other period in U.S. history is so riddled with errors and […]
I know I pick on our government all too much. I know this for two reasons. First off, because many people tell me I do. And I guess that’s good and bad, as some tend to agree with what I have to say, but others tend to think I say it all too much. But […]
Listening to Barack Obama’s recent speech on the economy in a policy vacuum, you could get the idea the president is pretty reasonable on the issue of regulation. As is the case so often in the political world, rhetoric doesn’t match reality. Obama said, “I agree that there are some rules and regulations that do […]
