• Will Obama Trade A Carbon Tax For Keystone XL? - 21 Feb 2013
  posted in Big Gov & Energy & Environment & Taxation

  The two were discussing the job benefits of and need for building Keystone XL, which has been given an environmental green light by the state of Nebraska, near whose sensitive aquifers it will run. That may explain Obama’s omission of Keystone in his SOTU. How do you placate those who want a carbon tax to [...]

• The shale gas revolution: reindustrialize the economy, reshape the global energy market - 17 Dec 2012
  posted in Columns & Energy & Environment & Jobs & Property

  The United States doesn’t usually look to Britain for guidance—the last time may have been when Winston Churchill was Prime Minister. That time has come again. This time, the US should follow the leadership of Prime Minister David Cameron, who last week said: “Britain must be at the heart of the shale gas revolution.” He [...]

• Try Bipartisanship About China - 14 Nov 2012
  posted in Columns & World

  We heard a lot of loose talk during the presidential campaign about getting tough with Communist China. Since both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney criticized China’s violations of free-trade rules that the United States obeys, this would be the perfect issue to showcase the bipartisanship to which both men said they are committed. Free trade [...]

• Democrats don’t view climate change as a winning issue - 11 Sep 2012
  posted in Big Gov & Big Green & Columns & Economy & Energy & Environment & Jobs

  Nobody pays much attention to the party platform—including the party, until some piece of it makes headline news. At last week’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, the official “platform” was destined to the usual low profile until the Republicans made headlines over the fact that the Democrats had dropped the word “God” and removed [...]

• Entrepreneurs like Jobs build prosperity — not politicians - 23 Jul 2012
  posted in Big Gov & Business & Columns & Economy & Politics & Govt

  I think it’s a sport for President Barack Obama to make outrageous statements like “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” which he said in a recent campaign trip to Roanoke, Va.– and then watch Republicans go predictably bananas. Certainly the multimillionaire business supporters of the president [...]

• Is it really OK that legal foreign nationals are enjoying the highest paying jobs while American college graduates are unemployed? - 29 Jun 2012
  posted in America First & Columns & Economy & Immigration & Jobs

  Unfortunately, even college graduates cannot get jobs as burger-flippers since no skill at all is required. Over qualification is the excuse. They also cannot get jobs in their major field of study. Why is that? How many times have you heard someone say, we don’t really care about legal immigrants because they are good for [...]

• Forget about the Immigration EASY button. Hit the immigration STOP button! - 14 Jun 2012
  posted in America First & Columns & Economy & Immigration & Politics & Govt & Welfarism

  STOP all immigration into America including naturalization. When the barrel is full, logic suggests that there is no more room in the barrel. If we choose to do nothing, well over a million more legal foreign workers will be allowed to come into the U.S. barrel again this year and take our best jobs. These [...]
