EPA to Shell Oil: on second thought, no you can’t drill in Alaska

By Jim Vicevich / April 25, 2011 /

Don’t pay any attention to what the young president says, watch what he’s doing and what he’s doing is choking off oil exploration in the United States slowly and deliberately. If the lefties win on this one America is not doomed to second place, America is doomed to be in last place.

Government regulatory uncertainty puts ‘breaks’ on economy

By Steve McGough / October 6, 2010 /

Small businesses are somewhat resilient when it comes to dealing with state and federal regulations, and to a certain extent, large businesses can deal with the new rules and rule changes a bit more effectively since they can absorb additional costs across different business areas. What small and large businesses both have more difficulty with…

Bailing Out The House Flippers

By Jim Vicevich / February 18, 2009 /

I will post more details as they become available. But the thrust of the plan is simple. Help homeowners who are underwater or can’t afford the monthly payment. * Enable refinancing for 4 million to 5 million “responsible” homeowners who took out conforming 30-year fixed mortgages with an 80 percent or lower loan-to-value ratio and…

Scared? Maybe you have good reason. Take New Poll!

Running through last night’s video and I came across a continuing theme throughout … Democrats and RINOs trying to frighten America to death … a financial death of $1 Trillion dollars (pay no attention to the deal … it will be a trillion I can assure you). Below you will find two videos … first…

It’s deja vu all over again. Sorta. UPDATE: Video added

By Dimsdale / June 14, 2012 /

As I watched Fox News Sunday this past weekend, I almost fell off my chair during the “Is labor losing its clout?” segment, wherein Chris Wallace interviewed two representatives of public workers unions, Dennis Van Roekel, President of the National Education Association, and Thea Lee, Deputy Chief of Staff of the AFL-CIO.

The Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street

By SoundOffSister / November 15, 2011 /

About 10 months ago, Illinois passed what some believe to be the largest tax increase in the state’s history.  This was on top of a tax rate in Illinois that already was one of the highest in the country.  I don’t know whether Governor Pat Quinn (D.) followed this up by proudly announcing that Ilinois was open for business,…

Gallup: Surprise, Americans not so happy with “The One’s” handling of economy – Video

By Jim Vicevich / February 9, 2011 /

You’ll find this across the internet today but I am posting too because it is so important. It’s significant because it shows the American people get it … and two … it’s not Bush’s economy anymore. Change!

Finally, a “cash for clunkers” for business

By Jim Vicevich / September 8, 2010 /

I wish I could say I came up with the headline but I did not. It’s from the SOS. The proposed Obama tax credits for business are getting some kudos from the right but I believe it is knee jerk because there is nothing to celebrate here. The tax credits are short term stimuli not…

Did you hear the one about 3 million jobs created or saved?

By Jim Vicevich / July 16, 2010 /

Lies, damn lies, and statistics, but in this case only the first two apply because even though the report comes from the Council of Economic Advisors there are no credible statistics to be found anywhere in this story. It’s just lies, and frankly it is, as Neil Cavuto puts it, outright cruel.

The Baucus bill “pork”

By SoundOffSister / October 13, 2009 /

Now that it’s passed out of  “Finance” (with the help of Maine’s Olympia Snowe), you will be outraged about what follows, unless, of course, you live in Nevada, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.  Several Senators have made sure that the Obamacare rules are different there. The Baucus Unaffordable Health Care Bill proposes to…
