Same Old State Of The Union, Again »

A case in point is President Obama’s State of the Union Address. As the Associated Press said, “It was a wish list, not a to-do list”. It was an election year sword rattling aimed at energizing his base, not a serious invitation to [...]

Obama Administration’s Moves On Jobs Are Truly Stunningly Stupid »
(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – Over the years, it has been my privilege to own a few airplanes. Under the right circumstances, they are tremendous business tools. All but one of those aircraft were proudly manufactured in Wichita, Kansas by Americans who were skilled machinists, and held the high level skills you need to manufacture precision equipment which flies.
