I was very pleased to read in Paul Bonneville’s letter of September 5 in the Laconia Daily Sun (and Sept 6 in The Citizen of Laconia) that he is doing better now than four years ago, so few people are doing better. He talks about the stock market “recovery”, of course that only helps if …
One marvels at the audacity of the falsehoods in The Citizen of Laconia’s July 12 editorial. Seeing a claim that Republicans refused to engage in the healthcare debate and that is why Obamacare is “flawed” makes one wonder if The Citizen is an arm of the Obama campaign. Republicans promoted things which are popular …

New Hampshire parents and children should annually celebrate June 27th. On that day, the NH Legislature enacted SB 372 which helps the children of low and middle income families attend the schools of their choice rather than being trapped in failing and mediocre public schools. On June 27th 251 Republicans and one Democrat overrode …
Monday the Obama administration continued its war against the American people and the rule of law. In a petulant response to the Supreme Court’s audacity for not declaring a key portion of the Arizona (SB 1070) Immigration Law unconstitutional, the Obama administration ordered its immigration authorities not to accept inquiries about a person’s immigration status …
The letter below by Tony Boutin makes some excellent points about government actions and education in particular. It appeared in the June 22, 2012, Laconia Daily Sun, http://issuu.com/dailysun/docs/lds6-22-12 While I agree with the author that politicians claim good intentions for all government actions driven by their policies, some politicians never seem to learn that the …
At a bar last night my friend Bill and I overheard a secret conversation. A man at the next table told his friend that the “Under God” enforcement arm, sort of a SWAT team unit, of the “Pledge of Allegiance” police have become aware of Professor Sandy’s position on the Pledge of Allegiance. They are …
JP Morgan earned a $5.4 billion profit in the first quarter of 2012. It is on course for making a multibillion profit in 2Q2012 and a $20 plus billion profit for the year despite its recent $2 billion loss. Businesses take risks, and some risks do not work out. Businesses are at risk daily as …

The decline in the April unemployment rate from 8.2 to 8.1 percent is the result of President Obama’s policies which destroy rather than create jobs. In April almost 3 times as many people got discouraged and left the labor force (342,000) as got jobs (115,000), this is nothing to celebrate. Two factors affect the unemployment …

If President Obama is re-elected, as the April 25, 2012 Concord Monitor editorial “Cutting food stamps to feed the rich” apparently assumes, then it is right, the Ryan budget won’t provide all the food stamps, unemployment, and other assistance that will be needed. The Concord Monitor goes on to pooh pooh the idea of “Cadillac …

A recent caller to Niel Young’s radio show, “The Advocates”, claimed that Medicare’s administration cost is much lower than for private insurance companies. But, Medicare’s formula for computing administration costs doesn’t include all the costs which government requires in the calculations for private companies. So the comparison is not valid, and the claim is misleading. …
