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 […]
Swiss Banks to Clients: Exit U.S. Securities
The oldest Swiss bank has pulled out of the U.S. and advised clients to get out of U.S. securities. St. Gallen-based Wegelin (founded 1741) advises that U.S. clients may become global pariahs. Can this possibly be true? For what reason, and who is to blame? As a test, I spent considerable time over the last […]
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 […]

QE2 Explanation
Thanks to A.T. for pointing out this great video. There isn’t a better explanation of the QE2 mess than this. In this video, Quantitative Easing is explained so well a three-year-old could understand it. Yet the Chairman of the Federal Reserve continues to pretend he knows better.
Make My Day: Part 1

Many of us are willing to expend the time and effort required to maintain a comforting level of security, whether financial or personal. Well, I can tell you […]
Youthful Success vs Aged Failure
The GOP is doing a good job of putting forward freshmen in leadership positions in the House. While the Republicans add youth and new ideas to their ranks, the Democrats have decided to pursue a rear-guard strategy of keeping the same leadership and blaming their losses in the House on everyone else but themselves.
