Obama’s Economic Plans Are Protectionist, Naive And Dangerous To Our Children’s Economic Future
21 February 2008Flush with manifest destiny Obama has been fleshing out his rhetoric and it’s surprising old. More suited to the 1970’s his flavor of protectionism reads like an old union flyer passed around while Detroit workers sledgehammer a Toyota for the TV cameras.
This version of change has been roundly discredited and offers no hope.
What profit […]

Sorry Big Mac, But China Owns Very Little Of Our Debt
31 January 2008I know Big Mac’s strength is not the economy or those business type things. But to set the record straight…
China is not the largest holder of American debt. You are.
You hold ~73% of the American Debt. 45% through the Federal Reserve and 28% in T-Bonds etc.
Anyway, the Chinese still don’t own […]
All This Talk About Change And Hope Is Foo-Foo Dust
28 January 2008Can you eat hope? Can you educate your kids on hope? Likewise with change. Talking about hope and change is great, but what does talking do?
