Notable Quote – It Is All about the Price!
Emphasis mine: The number of technologically feasible ways to produce any desired good in a modern economy is virtually infinite, but the subset of these which represent production methods that are also relatively economical is much smaller. Without the benefit of a price system, decision-makers who are faced with the bewildering variety of technologically possible … Read more

Survival Sunday
I’m back. I can’t say everything’s perfect, but thus far there’s respite on the home front. I don’t think I’ll be in divorce court… at least not soon. And given what I fear is coming, and how soon, by the time the home front explodes again, everything else will too – thus, a moot point.
The President is Celebrating the Economy
We know that the President is having a tough time staying focused, even on his own thoughts, but how tone-deaf does he have to be to spite the American people by gathering his troops together today to celebrate the American economy?
Data Point – Top 10 Countries by GDP (1960-2021)
A very interesting bar chart showing how dynamic the top countries keep changing positions – except for one:
Inflation, Recession, New Taxes. Thanks Joe
By definition, we officially entered a recession. The second quarter GDP was released, and with two consecutive quarters of negative numbers, the Biden Economy has now hit a new low. By changing definitions, the Biden administration believes they can convince the American public that all is well. Americans are more intelligent than the Biden Team … Read more
Wikipedia Locks Page Edits after it Changes the Definition of “Recession”
Much like America’s southern border, the word recession no longer has much meaning. Not because we haven’t got one, or both, we do. They are very real. But sometimes, if you know a guy, you can change how they are perceived or even what they mean.
It is Not Putin, It is Bad Policy
Here is the problem with our economy and the out-of-control inflation numbers that came out today. Since the President and his band of inept bureaucrats have no idea how they created this horrible economic environment, they cannot have a clue how to get us out of the mess. They are not capable of recovery. The … Read more
The Founders Predicted our Economic Crisis
Did Thomas Jefferson call the economic crisis? “Every thing predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. we are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper as we were formerly by the old Continental paper.” That’s from a letter to Thomas Cooper in January 1814. And … Read more
Natural Gas. The Lifeline to America’s Energy Future
Seventy-Eight percent of America’s electric power comes from burning fossil fuels. 32% comes from natural gas and the rest from oil and coal. 9.6% nuclear with the rest wind, Hydro, and solar power. Solar and wind power are weather dependent and require power backup when they are not available.
Biden Speaks (lies) to AFL-CIO. Facts Matter
Joe Biden spoke to the AFL-CIO this week in what can only be called a stump speech. It was a campaign speech complete with volume changes from whispers to yelling. It was big on style but weak on content. His speech was filled with lies and was both embarrassing and insulting.
Donkey Pox: President who Promised to Break US Domestic Energy Production Tries to Pick up the Pieces
On day one, the Bidenistas tipped over the domestic energy apple cart. In the weeks and months that followed, Democrats stomped on the apples because the Big Guy had promised to end fossil fuels, and end them, they would. They are having second thoughts.
Americans Are Feeling The Squeeze Of “Bidenflation”
I don’t know about you, but my friends and I are really starting to feel the squeeze. One friend is canceling her participation in a summer camping trip because the tank of gas required to get to and from the campground is too costly.
The Mixed Signals Are Getting More Twisted
Rising gas prices are good, as is low weekly job creation. The President thinks that both indicators are favorable signs that his economic policies are working to recover the economy. He is either delirious, ignorant of Economics 101, or was a classmate of AOC. By his sinking approval numbers, not many are buying what Biden … Read more
The State of the Union is Far From Good
My blog started its journey on January 25, 2021. Donald Trump had left Washington the week before his new home at Mar-a-Lago, and except for the Pandemic, he turned over a country that was in good shape and ready to come out of hibernation and grow. The Border was secure, inflation at 2%, the stock … Read more
After Subway Picked Megan Rapinoe as Spokesperson a Lot of Their Customers Decided to “Take a Knee”
Megan Rapinoe is a millionaire athlete who whines about her pay, kneels for the Anthem, and is entitled to her less than uplifting opinion of America and the majority white population. And she owns it, so props there. But someone at Subway thought that’d make for a great spokesperson.
