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
Joe Biden Helps China – More Americans Lose Their Jobs
When Donald Trump hiked tariffs on Chinese products, it created jobs in the US. Manufacturers and industries began moving operations to US soil and looked for ways to make more competitive products here.
If a Majority of Americans Want To Work For Themselves Shouldn’t That Translate to Them Wanting Smaller Government?

Just in Time to Make Things Cost More…Vermont Hikes Minimum Wage.
The hubris is impressive. Democrats think they know what an hour of labor is worth in every job but simultaneously make any value they assign to it worthless with their irresponsible economic meddling.
Culture – Unemployed Outside a Wal-Mart that’s Hiring (And sells food) With Sign that says “Will Work for Food”
I work near a Super-Wal-Mart, so I do a bit of shopping there when needed. If you don’t have one near you, it’s a Wal-Mart with a full-size grocery store inside. Another thing you might not have is unemployed panhandlers holding cardboard signs looking for work or money.
Logistics Geniuses in Congress Create “Shovel Ready Jobs” – Now They Just Need to Find Some Workers, Oh, and Some “Shovels”
The passage of the so-called infrastructure bill has been heralded as a victory for Democrats and the Biden administration. I think not. While spending gobs of money that does not exist is always a win on the left, this exposes them to other failures.
The CDC Is Not a Private Non-profit but the CDC Foundation Is… So, Who The Heck are They?
Last week, somewhere in one of our social feeds, someone asked if the CDC was actually a private non-profit. The question at hand was how or why anyone would need to follow its directives if it were?
In the Interest of Public Health Governors and Legislatures Need to Ban Mandatory Vaccination
I’m not a big fan of mandates, but the time has come to support one. Every state legislature and governor needs to step up and protect public health by prohibiting vaccine mandates anywhere in their states.
Former IBEW Steward – Right to Work Will Protect New Hampshire Workers
It’s all too common for people in politics to claim to speak for everyone, even when they just don’t. Take union bosses in the current fight over Right to Work: They act like all union members oppose Right to Work, but in reality that’s just not true.
New Hampshire – Low Unemployment And Soon to Be The Only Right to Work State in New England?
Everyone around here is excited about our 2.8% unemployment rate. It might be the lowest in the country. It’s not all good news. Part of that great number has to do with people staying out of the workforce. If no one wanted to work, unemployment would be zero.
Maskhole Gov. Charlie Baker Signals Plan to Continue Behaving Like an Idiot Democrat
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker is a heated contest with Vermont Governor Phil Scott for most Democrat-Republican governor. This has the odd effect of making left-leaning New Hampshire Governor Sununu look responsible, a goal to which Baker appears committed.
Josiah Bartlett: Low Labor Force Participation Holds Back NH Economy
As a few lawmakers engaged in a publicity stunt last Saturday to press for a state-imposed $15 minimum wage, New Hampshire employers were raising wages and offering cash incentives in desperate efforts to attract workers.
A $15 Minimum Wage Would Make NH Poorer, Less Populous
Raising New Hampshire’s minimum wage to $15 an hour would cost the state nearly 6,000 jobs and more than 9,000 residents, raise consumer prices, reduce economic output, and cause serious harm to small businesses and the leisure and hospitality industries, a new report from New Hampshire Employment Security concludes.
More Damning Evidence: A Mandated Minimum Wage Hike Will Harm, Not Help
Eugenicists and racists, mostly Democrats, crafted the original minimum wage idea to harm the same people that our modern-day Democrats now claim would benefit. Their ideological forebearers had it right, so are their 21st-century social re-engineers ignorant, stupid, or evil?
You Can’t Unionize Jobs That Don’t Exist
Remember when Amazon pulled out of Seattle in part because of the city was planning to target its largest employers with a ‘head tax’? Remember when Amazon scuttled its plans to open a center in New York City, because AOC and other progressives organized opposition to the move? Clearly this is a company that is … Read more
Biden Admin Favors Trans-Afghan Pipeline After Killing Off Keystone
Could this be a misunderstanding? On day one, doddering Joe Biden axed the Keystone Pipeline, ended thousands of union jobs. Warren Buffet’s trains will now move fossil fuels south from Canada’s Oil Sands to points in the US. At the same time, Washington is shepherding a pipeline project in Asia that will make the Taliban rich.
Biden Labor Sec. Nominee Marty Walsh Not Concerned About Job Losses – He Has a Job.
Marty Walsh is Biden’s nominee for labor secretary. He is dismissing concerns about job losses. It doesn’t bother him at all becasue he knows they are the results of the president’s executive actions and because he has a job?
What do you say we Kill off 80% of America’s Energy Production and Replace it with Unicorns.
Biden wants to kill 80% of America’s energy. What the hell is he thinking? Maybe it is time for that radical cranialrectalectomy. Are Americans willing to pay $4 or $5 a gallon to fill up the tank with Saudi oil or Russian gas? Are you willing to pay our enemies double for what we can produce for ourselves?
