    We saw the same thing with welfare. When I worked for the welfare department back in the 1970’s, many of those on welfare did not want to go to work because most jobs available to them paid less than they got on welfare. I encouraged them to get starter jobs which would reduce their welfare…

    During covid, we saw in a small way why socialism is attractive and why it is destructive. The government expanded unemployment to help those out of work. That is a noble gesture designed to help people. The government also extended small business loans to help businesses continue paying the salaries of their workers while laid…

    President Biden pushed financial institutions to support investments that promote Social and environmental programs rather than picking investments that show a solid base with good promise of being profitable. This is risky because many such investments are new and do not have a solid track record. Many of those investments were environmental companies owned by…

    Democrats blame Republicans for refusing to pass the budget but they aren’t willing to give in either. Democrats want to increase the debt limit and spend billions of dollars on health care for illegal immigrants but don’t want to increase payments to Medicare insurance providers. In fact President Biden cut payments to Medicare in the…

    Many people see the price increases resulting from the new tariffs, and don’t bother to understand the reasons behind them.  The United States prospered after World War II because the manufacturing plants in Europe were destroyed and the United States was supplying the manufacturing products to the world with no competition. In addition, many of…

    Critics accuse President Trump of causing price increases by instituting tariffs. They forget  some critical things. President Biden raided the treasury in the last three months of his term to give out trillions of dollars, which were not in the budget. A lot of those funds were untraceable. The huge government spending further fueled the…

    I continue to see articles that hammer on the old lie that the United States is the greatest contributor to pollution, just as they pushed the threat of mass starvation from over-population to push through abortion. That was a lie because the world’s population was on the verge of going into negative growth as we…

    It is apparent that the Democrat politicians are following a pattern they have followed since President Trump first took office. It you want to prevent people from investigating your crimes, you blame your opponent of committing them. When suspicions began to leak of Clinton’s dealings with the Russians, she set up the fake reports to…
