Where are the opportunities for the future? What will the social landscape look like in the future? Will the middle class exist for working America?
National Banks of America?
February 20, 2009 By
Injection of capital using taxpayer funds appears to be the administration’s choice for the near future. The trouble is that funds are being given to banks with no control over their use to the same managers who drove those banks into near bankruptcy.
Who is Peter Schiff and why didn’t we listen to him?
December 21, 2008 By
In 2006, Schiff predicted that we were headed to a recession, and it was probably going to last for several years. His position was laughed at by many experts, including Ben Stein and Arthur Laffer, among others. Who’s laughing now?
A very presidential President-elect
November 26, 2008 By
It is already becoming clear that President-elect Obama, by nominating Paul Volker and Robert Gates (among others) to take Cabinet level positions, is taking both the job of being President and fulfilling his campaign promises seriously, by taking a non-partisan approach to filling his Cabinet and departmental appointments.

It’s been awhile since I updated this blog, but some of my enthusiastic readers may remember my post back on December 11th when I chided the Federal Reserve for its half-hearted attempts to avoid a recession. Well folks, it’s too late. We are on a slippery slide to one of the worst recessions in recent [...]
The Fed Takes a Baby Step
December 11, 2007 By
Readers of this column know that I blame the Federal Reserve for lighting the fire that led to the housing crash and the overall slowdown of the economy. I keep hoping that they will see the error of their ways and correct the downturn by taking immediate and positive action to get the housing industry [...]
