Labor Day Laborers

Monday, September 7th, 2009

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, this event was created by labor union leaders to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers.  The first celebration was first held on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union.  Since 1884, Labor Day has been the […]

Only 345,000

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Yep.  That’s what the job loses slowed down to during the month of May.  I received a news alert from both The Washington Post and The New York Times telling me about the sharp reduction of job loses last month.  Tell that to the 345,000 who lost their jobs and all the other jobless folks out […]

You Took My Job!

Obama still wants to give illegal immigrants a “pathway” to become legal.  I’m sorry, but that pathway should have started at the border.  Instead, they enter illegaly and continue to break the law on a daily basis.  I know that Obama wanted the Hispanic vote and a good way to get it is to tell […]

It’s starting to get really crazy in the  financial world.  Obama signed the “stimulus” plan and is already talking about another one.   The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 297.81 points on Tuesday, or 3.7 percent, to 7,552.60.  GM wants to go on the dole permanently.  The plan to reduce foreclosures is expected to include subsidies […]

Another Duh Moment

Monday, December 1st, 2008

So, where has everyone been?  I just now received a breaking news alert from the New York Times.  It seems as if investors had no clue that our economy is going down the tubes and that we are in a recession.  The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 679.95 points or 7.7 percent today as the announcement came […]

They Finally Figured It Out

Monday, December 1st, 2008

I just received a news alert from The New York Times.  We have been in a recession since December, 2007.  I wonder what made it so difficult that it took a year for this group of economists to finally decide that.  I don’t suppose it was because the government wanted to keep us in the dark about […]
