With our national unemployment over 9% and job growth recently recorded at zero despite trillions of dollars spent on federal stimulus and tax cuts, we are facing a serious crisis in America today. We need jobs!
However, there seems to be no consensus in Washington, DC about what solutions will get us back on track.
We cannot continue to leave the debate to the professional politicians and...

Defining the Objective
By: Charles “Sam” Faddis
There is a lot of discussion ongoing in Washington about the war in Afghanistan and our next steps. There should be. We all know what happened the last time that we walked away from Afghanistan decided to let events there take their own course.

Are We All Now Idiotai
By: Charles “Sam” Faddis
In 508 BC, Cleisthenes, an Athenian nobleman, overthrew the existing political order of that Greek city state and instituted an entirely new form of government. It was called demokratia, literally “people’s rule”, and it was exactly what the name implied. In place of the previous system of hereditary autocratic rule was now substituted the...

People are People (Corporations are Not)
By: Dennis Mikolay
It is no secret that power hungry politicians have propelled many foolish ideas over the course of the United States’ history. From segregation to the dissolution of Glass-Stegall, legislators have never been particularly shy about their ignorance. While many of their asinine policies are exposed as foolish and later struck from law, some have lived on, evolving and shaping...

Time for a Roemer Revolution
By Dennis “DJ” Mikolay
“Super Tuesday,” widely regarded as the single most important day in the presidential primary season, is quickly approaching, and while the Republicans have long perpetuated the idea that it would be ready to mount a formidable challenge to President Obama, the truth of the matter is the Grand Old Party really doesn’t look so great at the moment.
Divided by factions and...

Using Our Heads
By: Charles “Sam” Faddis
Whenever you start talking to people about the economy, you begin to hear a lot of very nebulous, theoretical comments. Seems like for many people that common sense just gets thrown out the window. All of a sudden, logic and reason don’t apply. Water runs uphill. Dust swirls against the wind.
Free trade will make us all better off…
We decided a...

Comprehensive Twitter List of American Political... →
When looking through Twitter, I realized there wasn’t a list I could subscribe to that had every national political party in the United States. I wanted to create one. It’s not complete, but it has a dozen or so now. This may be a good list for those that keep up with politics - Nick Hensley

Never do anything immoral or illegal regardless of the potential gain. Never take advantage of anyone. Make honesty and straight dealing your calling card.

ABC reports on some messed up cases. I would advise everyone to look at this. It’s an issue that is sick, and about doctors gaming the system and committing medicaid fraud at the expense of children. - Nick Hensley

On October 4, 1957 the world changed. The Soviet Union launched the first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. It was nothing more than a small metal sphere containing two radio transmitters, but it signaled that the Russians had taken the lead in the space race.
Americans, previously assured of their technological...
