True unemployment breaks 17% again – Obama’s jobless recovery continues
By: Dan Spencer (Diary) | October 9th at 02:28 PM |
The government unemployment report that the economy lost another 95,000 jobs and that the unemployment rate remained stuck at 9.6 percent in September is a disaster for the Obama/Democrats. The government’s broader measure of unemployment, sometimes referred to “true unemploytment,” now stands at 17.1 percent. As the Washington Post’s Frank Ahrens puts it, you are not included in the “official” unemployment rate if, a) you | Read More »
Winning in ’10 Means Utilizing the Power of 10
By: Newt Gingrich (Diary) | September 21st at 10:30 AM |
Recovery Begins on Election Day 2010. There is a rising political tide in the United States, a wave that could usher in the biggest realignment of the U.S. Congress in decades. But in order for the American people to defeat the job killers, voters must show up at the polls on November 2nd, and they have to show up big time.
The Jobs Numbers
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 3rd at 10:29 AM |
The jobs numbers don’t paint a good picture over all. Unemployment went back up slightly. The number Mr. Obama will want us to pay attention to is private sector job growth. According to the government, private sector jobs went up and the growth of unemployment is attributed to those census workers leaving their jobs. In fact, I’m already getting emails from Democrats saying I’m being | Read More »
Intel CEO Otellini: The Democrats Are Destroying our Economy
By: Brian Faughnan (Diary) | August 24th at 06:31 PM |
This is a stunning indictment from the leader of one of America’s most successful technology companies: Unless government policies are altered, he predicted, “the next big thing will not be invented here. Jobs will not be created here.” The U.S. legal environment has become so hostile to business, Otellini said, that there is likely to be “an inevitable erosion and shift of wealth, much like | Read More »

How to Structure a Political Economy
By: Congressman Tom Price (Diary) | June 29th at 09:57 AM |
The last few years of taxpayer-funded bailouts, backstops, and so-called “stimulus” spending have left Americans with a political economy in which Washington, not the market, decides where to allocate capital. Until now, Washington’s interventions have been put together in haphazard fashion – $300 billion here, $700 billion there, etc. But under the guise of “financial reform,” Democrats last Friday unveiled their plan to make this | Read More »
Drowning in Red Ink
By: Congressman Frank Lucas (Diary) | June 11th at 03:30 PM |
This month, our country reached a staggering milestone – the national debt topped $13 trillion. To put that in perspective, if you were to spend $1 per second, it would take you about 412,000 years to rack up $13 trillion in debt. While the median income per person in 2004 was $23,535, each American taxpayer’s share of the national debt is $118,500. Even more troubling, | Read More »
A Path To Prosperity
By: Rob Portman (Diary) | May 7th at 09:55 AM |
There’s a clear choice in the Senate race here in Ohio. I am running because I know we need a new direction. Ohio is suffering from record unemployment and continues to fall behind. Everything Washington is doing – from the higher taxes and more regulations to higher energy and health care costs and record deficits – makes it harder for Ohio to get on its | Read More »
