Heated disagreement over how Trump and company want to spend our money might be our own fault. Poll numbers show we are pretty fickle about what we expect from government. In a recent Pew Research poll 64% of respondents believe the GOP “is too willing to cut programs.”1 On the flip side 61% say Democrats view “government as the only way to solve problems.”2 An April 2016 … [Read more...] about Government Should Spend Less So It Can Give Away More?
Economy
The economy category has posts on federal spending, debt and deficit, labor laws and policies, the battle between socialism and free market capitalism, and the tenuous relationship between the government, taxpayers, and the businesses that keep Americans employed.
Booming economy is a bad thing?

That means it needs to be fixed so it only works for left wing politicians.
Midterms chart bad economic future
The 2018 midterms started the House on a mission to prevent our economy from flourishing. A new push to socialize America is gaining strength and shows just how little prominent voices have learned from the catastrophic mistakes made by other countries.
The problem is that the U.S. economy isn’t about economics or numbers. It’s about the fundamental struggle between right and left, between free market capitalism and socialism’s give-away, free for all society.
Left wing economic lunacy

Have a look at New York Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s ridiculous Green New Deal and then ask yourself how 67 Democrats who back the plan can be so reckless and uninformed as to think that this kind of left wing lunacy is a good idea.

My job does not make me rich but I don’t make minimum wage, either. I work and pay taxes. Since my home is in Illinois that means lots of taxes that are never enough. None of this … [Read more...] about Day Without Heroes? Ordinary People Never Had a Chance
Skills Training is Bad for Your Career
It should not be a shock that President Obama sees workers as a collective instead of individuals pursuing goals and careers. He has a habit of viewing things from the left. Somewhere below his Oval Office perch employees fill slots in an economy he still wants to engineer. This was painfully evident in a talk about skills training at a community college in Michigan. The … [Read more...] about Skills Training is Bad for Your Career
