Could You Use $4000? Too Bad We Don’t Work for President Obama’s Favorite Car Company
On the surface, it should be good news when a company is doing well enough that it can pay out almost $190 million dollars in bonuses to its rank and file salaried employees. If the directors are good with it, the creditors are in good shape, and the company is doing well, employees ought to [...]
Guess Who’s Okay With Big Financial Regulations? Big Finance!
Tim Carney has a post today about how an influential chunk of the financial sector has decided not to help repeal the ridiculous Dodd-Frank financial services legislation in place. I suppose that makes sense from their point of view. They are certainly large enough to absorb regulatory costs that will cripple smaller companies and their [...]

The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering people’s health and must be regulated, signaling that the Obama administration is prepared to contain global warming without congressional action if necessary. … Under a Supreme Court ruling, the so-called endangerment finding is needed before the EPA [...]
Thomas Friedman, the Unpatriotic Hypocrite
How does New York Times columnist and member in good standing of the Church of Global Warming Thomas Friedman live his message of global warming alarmism? I can’t say, exactly, but it apparently requires a humongous house with a huge pool spread out on lots of cleared land. And his buildings all have slate-grey roofs! [...]
