		<description><![CDATA[
The president seeks a fairer distribution of wealth; he claims not to admonish prosperity, but seeks to be sure it is shared.  There is a proven method to this noble objective and it lies under his nose. Instead of promoting it he is effectively destroying it.
In The Wall Street Journal, 1/26/12 Henry Nau writes Lessons [...]]]></description>

Too much money makes many people stupid. After the prosperity and growth of the 1980’s, Clinton thought that he could expand the prosperity to more people by enacting government programs without consequences.
In the Investor’s Business Daily editorial, Bill Clinton, Home Wrecker, the writers explore the policy that began the housing bubble and collapse.
Rewind to 1994. [...]]]></description>

The president’s jobs bill is a non starter, a desperate attempt to do something by doubling down on failed policies.
Point  one- He offers tax breaks to workers by extending the reduction in FICA taxes, and making up the deficit with higher taxes to the general fund.  He promotes  incentives to get employers to hire the [...]]]></description>

The debt downgrade is not good, but not all that happens as a result is bad.  No matter how pathetically this result is spun to reflect on the Tea Party, intransient Republicans, and George Bush the administration cannot escape responsibility.  He took a giant Keynesian gamble and it has failed miserably, as it has in [...]]]></description>

There is little to add to the Weiner fiasco. Sexting is now a very descriptive new word in the digital lexicon.  The winner in this lurid tale is Andrew Breitbart.  His objective was not Anthony Weiner but the Media Complex (his term). Again he proved that the Media Complex (i.e. the MSM) is far more [...]]]></description>

The lack of certainty is a common refrain from business people and investors today.  But it is not a satisfactory explanation. Business people always face uncertainty.  There are always unforeseen problems, new competitors and products, and risks in investments.  Without risk and uncertainty, opportunities would be rare and investments would yield very little.
There is even [...]]]></description>

Monetary policy seeks to promote economic growth through the proper management of the currency. The trick is to create enough money to provide growth without losing control of inflation. This is no small task. We are a nation addicted to growth, and we are not a patient people.  In the past it was complicated by [...]]]></description>

Economist Scott Grannis writes in his excellent blog, The Calafia Beach Pundit, Coach Obama still doesn&#8217;t understand the game.
Excerpts:
If he learned anything in the past two years, it was that the public doesn&#8217;t like the concept of stimulus spending, and it doesn&#8217;t like a lot of new government programs. Solution? Call the stimulus spending something [...]]]></description>
