When windbags like Rush Limabugh call this economic climate “Obama’s economy,” a reminder that George W. Bush was able to avoid accepting responsibility for the declining economic forecast during the initial months of his first term because the declining economy [...]
With the collapse of tourism in Hawaii, relatives on the Big Island tell us they and many others increasingly are growing their own food, as well as fishing and hunting (like for wild pig.) There are few jobs there now since tourism dropped off sharply [...]
Let's take a break from Newsom FAIL, Muni FAIL, and Overall Economy FAIL with...the Dancin' Stormtrooper!
For more of the Dancin' Stormtrooper, check out Danny Choo's site. It's rather awesome.
' [...]Last night, when I heard Sean Hannity ask former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin what she would do to get the economy growing again, I hoped you would reply in the same manner as former HP CEO Carly Fiorina did when Greta van Susteren asked her a similar question.
In one minute [...]
It all sounded good when spouted out of the mouths of MSM babes (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and the like) and other children of our time (Joe Biden): $787 Billion to “jumpstart” the economy, and create MILLIONS of jobs!
But just like nearly all of Obama’s principles and promises — this [...]
After a tough year of financial woes that had more to do with mismanagement than the bad economy, MOCA put on a huge gala opening to celebrate its 30-year retrospective. Over a thousand of L.A.'s brightest lights in the entertainment and art worlds turned out for [...]
President Obama has announced that he will hold a “jobs summit” in December. The pollsters are probably telling him he needs to address what most Americans see as the first priorities, jobs and the economy. This summit reminds me of nothing so much as Jerry Ford’s laughable and utterly [...]
On the NewsHour the moderator just said "new taxes slows down the economy at a time when people are hurting." This is in a discussion of how to fix state budgets. The panelist responds, "That's exactly right."
This is just absolute nonsense. This shows what happens when something is repeated over [...]

The San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council announced last week their endorsement for Humberto Peraza for City Council in Chula Vista for the June 2010 elections.[Posted by Karl]
Folks from Allahpundit to Robert Reich are noticing the same thing:
Obama’s focus on health care when the economy is still so fragile and unemployment moving toward double digits could make it appear that the administration has its priorities confused. While affordable health care is important to [...]
I’ve been trying to figure out why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (likely following orders handed down from the White House) was so determined to hold a vote on a bill to increase government control over one-sixth of our economy the week after her party suffered its worst shellacking at the [...]
Everything is wonderful with our sparkling economy. The government has matters well in hand. (Just don't look behind the facade.)

Generally speaking, three votes isn't the margin by which a massive transformation of the economy and society should be imposed by the central government.
But that's exactly what the House Democrats did tonight when they voted 220-215 to pass a bill they ill-comprehend, that would impose an authoritarian, $1.5 trillion [...]
State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, GOP candidate for Governor of California, made a stop at Walnut for his 11th Business Roundtable to discuss with business leaders about the state of the economy, jobs, education and taxes.
Mr. Poizner was joined by State Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar, District 29) and State Assemblyman Curt Hagman [...]
After operating on the periphery around Polizeros for a while, I’ve been invited to do a little scribble now and then. Honored.
Polizeros has been a super-trooper blog pushing those frost heaves of progressivism for years. I’ll begin my foray here with not a news entry, [...]
The rise in the productivity rate in October is not yet a statistical measure of economic growth (and 1). In a fully employed, growing economy, the rise in productivity would indicate technological innovation and promise added economic value to products. It would enable companies to pass along to their workers in the [...]

California used to be a high-taxes/high-public benefits state; it is now a high-taxes/low-public benefits state. Texas used to be a low-taxes/low-public benefits state; now it is a low-taxes/high-public benefits state. What happened? The California political economy was captured by the public employee unions (and the politicians who depend upon them [...]
As the Golden State continues to shed jobs, you’d think our representatives in Washington would seek to avoid policies which could further damage the state’s fragile economy. But, not our junior Senator, Ma’am Barbara Boxer.
This lady just can’t seem to learn from her past mistakes. She promised us the “so-called [...]
Here are four economists debating whether the stimulus actually helped to perk up the economy — with a certain amount of nuance.
My strong impression so far is that insofar as the stimulus stimulated anything, it was government jobs. They pay in real fiat money, so they have value to [...]
