Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), in an act that’s worthy of a 2012 U.S. presidential candidate (more on that in a moment), is standing up to the unions. On Tuesday, DeMint introduced the National Right to Work Act, to do away with forced unionism. He and seven other cosponsors seek to protect the free choice of […]
Wisconsin’s Lord of the Rings
“This is the Master-Ring, the One Ring to rule them all.” The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is in the fight of his life to destroy the Master-Ring of Wisconsin: collective bargaining by public union employees. For it is collective bargaining that empowers public-sector unions over the fiscal […]
President Obama’s Badger State
Isn’t it amazing how quickly civility is thrown out the window when the tables are turned? It has been 72 years since the GOP controlled the legislature and the Governor’s office in Wisconsin so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody, including President Obama, that Governor Scott Walker is making good on his campaign promise […]
Buy BMW
Does it makes sense that the United Auto Workers (UAW) is tapping into its $800-million strike fund to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to force foreign automakers to unionize? Does it make sense that the Obama administration is allowing 45,000 federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers to unionize? Workers at BMW in Spartanburg, South […]
GE & Obama: Imagination at Work
Your big winner from the State of the Union address is GE, along with its CEO, Jeff Immelt, the newly appointed head of President Obama’s Economic Advisory Board. Welcome to the world of big-government, big-business crony capitalism, where corporate slogans take on an entirely different meaning. I’m sure the guys in GE marketing weren’t thinking […]
21 Million Underemployed
President Obama mentioned in his State of the Union Address that over 1 million jobs were added last year, yet he didn’t mention the 14.5 million unemployed Americans or the 6.5 million Americans that have given up looking for work. How do you think these 21 million underemployed Americans felt when they heard the president […]
Escape to Wisconsin
Money goes where money is well treated. It’s that simple. Look no further than the state of Wisconsin’s newly elected GOP Governor Scott Walker and his new slogan to businesses in neighboring states, “Escape to Wisconsin.” And escape they will, as he works to eliminate the corporate income tax for two years and most likely […]
China’s “Surprise” for the F-35
You may have heard that the J-20, China’s fifth-generation fighter jet, flew its first test flight Tuesday morning. You can put U.S. defense secretary Robert Gates and even China’s own civilian president Hu Jintao on the list of those surprised by its progress. In their meeting later on Tuesday, Mr. Gates asked President Hu about […]
Julius “Seizures” Your TV
The FCC’s new net neutrality rules are socialism at its finest. The rules are a direct affront to your freedom. They are a case study in crony politics. President Obama and his Harvard Law School friend FCC chairman Julius Genachowski are on the left, squashing private enterprise while horse-trading with big cable companies on the […]
Lunch Lady Land
First Lady Michelle Obama must be thrilled that President Obama signed the $4.5-billion Child Nutrition Act. Now all of our schoolchildren will eat healthy food and live an active life. Won’t this be a special Christmas at the White House? Not that special. In reality, big government is already at the head of the lunch […]
