Pres Bush (GG file photo by Doug) In his radio address this week, President Bush raised several good points about the economy and what we should be doing about rising enegy costs. While I’m not all that "stimulated" by the so-called rebate checks coming our way, I do know many people that DO need that …
I’ve complained about those that use government and the force of government regulation to keep competitors out of their market space. Government should be neutral – favoring no competitor over another (except in matters of national security). It happens at the international level too! Problem is, I’m not liking a foreign nation setting up …

Over at WhizBang is one of the best plain spoken treatises on economics that I have read. While I have excerpted key parts, go and read the whole thing. It taught me one thing: I saw exactly why government should be allowed to take our money but ONLY uner our watchful eyes: First, let’s start …

My, what a difference a few years can make….as well as what capital letter comes after a President’s name! Or does it?

Know that feeling you get when you see a solid chunk of your paycheck missing because its been sent off to some obscure place in a federal district far, far away? You feel like your getting ripped-off by the man, but you convince yourself that its necessary to fund a strong military and protect …
I’ve blogged about the new law that would undo another one that forced the drug companies to sell contraceptives at bargain basement prices here. Frankly, the inmates were terrified that they’d actually have to "pay to play" – it isn’t FAIR! One Democratic legislator was so ticked that she ran off …
