What was driving the wave of elections in VA and NJ this week? The deteriorating jobs market was and is the driver, which is where the average American voter connects to the ‘economy’ in a visceral way. The crux of the Democrats’ problem with the voters is they have failed miserably on this matter. I […]

You can tell in blogging when there is some low hanging fruit for you to post on. The bogus jobs claims by the administration today is just one such case. First, let me set this up with a CBS News clip on the shoddy statistics used to produce those fictional ‘created or saved’ jobs (H/T […]

Major Update Below Remember the rush last February to get a stimulus package through Congress so the Democrats could turn the economy around and start creating jobs? Remember almost 8 months ago, when it passed, all the hype and promises spewed by the Democrats? Here we sit 8 months later, with unemployment and underemployment creeping […]

Let’s just take off the partisan glasses for a few moments and note that current economic trouble actually began years ago with a terrible idea to risk the stability of the real estate market (what could go wrong, they can’t make more land?) by loosening all the controls for ensuring people who buy can afford […]

[Optional Subtitle: Obama’s 1 Million ‘Saved’ Jobs Discovered? Below I think we have found Obama’s mythical 1 million ‘saved’ jobs.

The bad economic news keeps rolling in this weekend as we learn a generation of young people may have permanent scars as a result of the failed liberal stimulus bill and its moronic reliance on government jobs programs to lift this nation out of the Great Recession: The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded […]

It’s the economy, stupid. A famous one-liner from James Carville that reminded the last Democrat administration that ideology is all well and good, but if the economy is not performing the voters will not tolerate or accept a bunch of ideology in place of jobs and financial security. In 1994 the last attempt by liberals […]

Updated Below The blatant arrogance of a young and inexperienced President trying to spin his failures is always something to behold. It usually is a combination of denial and panic, leading to completely obvious flights of fantasy. This White House has taken this denial to an all new level. In the case of the now […]

Alternate Title: Does The Lying Work? I feel at times the Democrats live in a Disney movie, where everything in the kingdom is perfect, or will be if we just let the wizard do his/her thing. After last night’s speech of fantasy fiction, I wonder how much of America does as well. We shall see […]
