Another Wheel Off The Bus

Obamacare, the Patient Unaffordable and Un-accessible (all we really) Care (about is government power) Act will require another 800,000.00 Americans to give up their jobs. Put another way, it will cost 800,000.00 jobs.

Unemployment Update

The US Bureau Of Laboring Statistics calculates the latest rate of unemployment at 9%. We do however have to question the methodology and the real fact that another 300,000 or so people gave up looking for work. Real Unemployment is still in the teens and inflation for food and fuel is rising.

Unemployment- Is the Good News Bad?

The percentage went down to 9.4% for December but is that a good thing? We will have to wait until we get the January numbers to shake out the holiday hiring but overall it is not strong news.

Brunelle’s Road To Damascus Moment?

From bathroom bill and balloon fines all the way to economy and jobs in one little election, and we are meant to wonder if Mr Brunelle has had a road to Damascus moment? Not to worry. He is no Paul of Tarsus. He has the same laser like focus on jobs and the economy as the democrat majority before the Republican’s took over–destroy jobs and ruin the state economy.

Breaking The Addiction To Government

So is John Lynch’s ‘recovery’ built on a foundation of one time money from Washington to expand the role of government? That would be a yes. The Norelli/Larsen/Lynch combine took the company credit card, bought a bunch of goods and services from themselves in the form of more government, and are now left with more mouths to feed and a huge recurring annual bill for which there is no revenue.

Unemployment Up

For people seeking jobs, that’s not a happy tale to tell. But it’s not the only tale. Texas is creating jobs. And New Hampshire has an opportunity to charge after Texas, even do them one better, and become the beacon of the Northeast. It’s something we need to do. There are people out there looking for work. We just need to give them a reason to come here to find it.

Nothing Fair About It

Every now and people who appear rational find themselves repeating nonsense, usually in the Nashua Telegraph which is one of New Hampshire leading sources for editorial nonsense.  This time around it’s a guest commentary from Robert Collinsworth, who has an internet footprint large enough to identify him as an otherwise sensible guy.  So why has …

Inconveninet Truths About The October Jobs Numbers

Jobs numbers are tricky things. Politicians will always tell you what you want to hear and leave out what they don;t want you to hear. So it is no surprise that we are getting the same old song and dance, that “the economy created private sector jobs again.” That’s a nice thing to hear, but is it an improvement or are we still arranging deck chairs on the Titanic?

Feds Play The Lynch Shell Game With Themselves

Taking a page from the John Lynch Playbook, the Federal Reserve is planning to buy 500 billion in treasury bonds. This is the Federal Government taking money from it’s right pocket, putting it in its’ left pocket, then putting it back in the right pocket, and claiming to have 500 billion more to spend.

Karol Kills Kjobs

Shea-Porter is clinging to the idea that the health care bill she deemed passed will create jobs.  But like most progressive undertakings it will destroy two to three times as many jobs as are forced into existence by the distant, egg head, committee appointees in DC.  Net loss, ship sinks, economy drowns. With that in …
