Today, in a move that many of us saw as it circled the drain and crossed the threshold between Bill and Law, effectively squandering $170 Billion of the government’s hard-taxed, and hard-printed cash, the Senate passed the House-approved stimulus package to give almost every American a fat, though entirely non-permanent, check in the mail.

Corporations can be very good for a country because they employ people, create things, sell things, and provide services. But there can be problems when corporations have too much influence over government and when they refuse to negotiate with unions or use union workers. John Edwards is the democratic candidate who is talking the most […]

Recently, I was compiling facts for a piece I was going to send to my local paper in response to a letter written by a terribly misguided war supporter. What I came across, confirms that the real goal of the Iraq War is oil.
I decided to look up financial information on Halliburton, which everyone […]

It seems that George W is concerned about his legacy, and he is talking to a biographer named Robert Draper:
In book, Bush peeks ahead to his legacy
from Americas - International Herald Tribune
In an interview with a book author in the Oval Office one day last December, President George W. Bush daydreamed about the next […]

In the last few weeks, our nation has seen several tragic events. The bridge collapse was first, the mine collapse in Utah followed, the gouge in the space shuttle was next, the stock market started to take a nose dive, and finally, to wrap things up, a radiological attack on U.S. was threatened.

Why don’t we kill three birds with one stone, fix both our immigration woes, the bad economy of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico simultaneously, and stop the Mexican sweatshops with one, final motion?

After reading Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, I was inspired to create a solution to America’s modern immigration, population, and economic problems. And I soon came up with one that is both affordable and practical.
Since the Mexican immigrants are, judging by the current administration’s policies, nothing but thieves and criminals that cross the […]

US is # 1 !!!! (Is that a good thing?))
There is a new list out of all of the things that United States leads in. Unfortunately, things like health care, education or income equality. Instead, consider these items:
