For years I’ve argued that it is disingenuous for Democrats to complain that Obama inherited a bad economy from Bush. In fact Obama inherited a bad economy from a Democrat Congress of which Obama was a member. Right after election day in November 2006, when the Democrats were elected to take control of Congress, I […]
In a comment to one of my recent posts the commenter (whose name is also Michael Mort, but he is not me, and I am not him) said, “You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.” I LOVE that phrase. I’ve heard it used by both Bob Beckel and Sean Hannity. Whenever you […]
It must be election time because pundits are weighing in, talk show hosts are showing their colors, and celebrities are pretending they have a brain. But you’ve come to the right place, because only I know what’s going to happen. And the answer is… It does not matter who wins the presidency, the United States […]
Like President Obama, I am a constitutional scholar. So I have reviewed the decision in the case Windsor v. United States in which the Second Circuit declared the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to be unconstitutional. I respectfully disagree with the majority of the court. While I agree in general with the dissent written by Judge […]
Why should you take the risk to start a company? After all, the government provides food stamps, wealth redistribution from the rich, and even toys like cell phones. See this little video clip. And if you do get a job, it should be with the government, and you definitely should join the union to help you […]
A common phrase I hear is that the government “spends money on tax cuts.” Huh? That sounds like the government owns all the money in the economy, and letting people keep more of it is the same as the government “spending.” I disagree. I firmly believe the government is nothing more than a bunch of […]
The song played after Obama’s speech tonight repeated the words, “We take care of our own” over and over again. But of course, the party that nominated Obama does not actually believe that. The Democrat party believes the government takes care of us, and that government is supposed to be funded by the rich. So […]
I sit watching TV where Joe Biden speaks at the Democrat political convention, and I cannot believe my ears. His revisionist presentation of recent history is alarming. Biden would have us believe that Barack Obama entered the White House four years ago completely intent on buttressing hope not only among Americans, but also across the […]
I’ve heard the question asked, “Do you approve of the way the President is handling the economy?” The very question gives the impression that (a) the President can control the economy, and (b) the President has been granted the authority to do so. By the US Constitution, we the people have granted Congress the authority to regulate interstate commerce. […]
There seems to be a notion that creating more jobs is the key to creating more wealth. Really?! If that were true, then we should outlaw the use of all modern capital equipment. We should return to an agrarian economy where every single person has to work hard every single day just to survive. Houses […]
