Rachel Maddow's Blind Deference To Government Power
by Sheldon Richman. Is there a difference between government and society? Rachel
Maddow seems to think not. Pay close attention to these
words from the MSNBC host's promo as she attempts to
defend "America" against those who (in her view) believe its best
days are in the past: "No, no, no. We're not going to build it. No, No, No. America ... MORE50 Obama-Backed Companies Are Financially Troubled
by Micheal Bastasch. The October bankruptcy of solar company Satcon Technology Corp. puts
the number of bankrupt or troubled green energy companies as high as 50,
according to one estimate. During the first presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt
Romney said the Obama administration had doled out $90 billion to green
energy ... MOREQuarter-Billion-Dollar Stimulus Creates Just 400 Jobs
by Jim McElhatton. Battery maker A123 Systems
vowed thousands of new jobs when it received a nearly
quarter-billion-dollar stimulus grant in late 2009, but federal
job-tracking figures show only a few hundred positions were created
before the company joined a growing list of federally backed energy
businesses that ended in bankruptcy. ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black and White Standards
Black people should not keep accepting excuses. The Washington Post (10/25/2012), in giving President Barack Obama an endorsement for another four years, wrote, "Much of the 2012 presidential campaign has dwelt on the past, but the key questions are who could better lead the country during the next four years — and, most urgently, who is likelier ... MOREWalter Galvin: Suppressing Our Economic Power
Should America have the highest corporate tax rate? Sweden may be best known among Americans as home of the Nobel Prize and IKEA but astute politicians would be wise to take a closer look at what this Scandinavian nation is doing economically.

Gary North: 100 Percent Chance That U.S. Will Default
There is good reason to prepare for a catastrophe. It is not often that readers get a clear-cut choice between two forecasts. Most forecasts have wiggle room. Not the following. 1. The United States government will default. 2. The United States government will not default. I hold the first position. John T. Harvey holds the second. He wrote a ... MORERich Lowry: The Party Of Government
Democrats have one true allegiance. At the Democratic National Convention, the Charlotte host committee knew its audience. “Government,” the narrator says in a video produced by the committee for the opening of the convention, “is the only thing we all belong to.” The Obama campaign quickly disavowed the video. But it captured all ... MOREInvestors.com: Better Off? Let's Count The Ways We're Not
No, the country is not making slow progress. All weekend, Democratic party leaders kept fumbling their answer to a simple question: Are we better off than we were four years ago? There's a good reason for that: We're not. It wasn't until Monday that the campaign was able to figure out how to answer the question, with Obama's deputy campaign ... MOREGovernment Spending Cuts Are Bad For The Economy?
by Tyler Watts. “Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines,” laments the gruff air traffic controller played by Lloyd Bridges in the ribald disaster-spoof Airplane! Facing the tense situation of helping a nerve-wracked pilot safely land a large passenger jet, “Steve McCroskey” could get a performance boost by popping some pep ... MOREPeter Schiff: The Not So Super Hero
We must stop waiting for a savior. The past week provided clear lessons not just in how central bankers have a limited ability to positively influence the economy but also how they are limited in their capacity to deliver the shortsighted policy actions that investors currently crave. The developments should provide new reasons for investors and ... MOREDoug Bandow: Killing The Economy With Gov't Stimulus
Death by spending. President Barack Obama’s presidency hangs in the balance after another disappointing employment report. He continues to advocate new government “stimulus” programs to boost his reelection campaign. However, Washington is awash in government “stimulus,” without effect. Only productive private investment will spark economic ... MORE
