Well, sure, it’s fine of the Treasury does *something* to stop tax inversions. But, that just isn’t enough. I know, I’m so naive–but it’s Congress that has to act.

Posted on 15 October 2014.
The other day, I wrote about the warning of a slow slide in the global economy. Oppsssss…

Confounded Only If You Aren’t Paying Attention
Posted on 13 October 2014.
Once again, the elites are confounded. They don’t understand why the economy isn’t performing very well. And it leads them to pay attention to the wrong things.

Watch The Slow Slide
Posted on 10 October 2014.
Typically, it doesn’t happen with a crash. Nope, more like a slow slide–until it’s too late to avoid a really bad economic picture that hurts millions of people. And at least someone is warning of the slide.

The U.S. Leading The Way? Sure…To Poverty For Millions
Posted on 08 October 2014.
For all the bemoaning about the the lack of bi-partisanship and abundant political rancor, there is one thing both political parties just revel in: the rah-rah cheering over the notion that the United States is Number One in the world and leading the pack.

Posted on 06 October 2014.
I am sort of used to the foolishness spewed by the transcribers of press releases (formerly known as “journalists) when it comes to Social Security. “The sky is falling, the sky is falling” is roughly the hysteria pouring out of their mouths. But, well, it’s important to keep after them because, well, ten people still listen to Fred Hiatt at the Washington Post

The Phony Jobs Report Hype, A Very Sick Economy & Millions of Workers Who Don’t Count
Posted on 03 October 2014.
This was almost predictable: the traditional media, and too many bloggers who regurgitate what they read in the traditional media, are buying into the “rebound” in the economy because of today’s Labor Department report; the stock market goes up; and, I’m certain, pretty soon, the White House will be taking credit for all this and, subtly or not so subtly, arguing that, see, aren’t we great, vote for us. It’s nonsense.
