Take Away the Government’s Checkbook

Take Away the Government’s Checkbook

I run a successful manufacturing and export business. My success depends on our ability to accurately cost the materials and services we consume. If my estimates are wrong, I won’t stay in business very long.

Our government has no such apparent obligation. Our tax dollars are being wasted on projects that are so out of sync with accepted norms that one wonders who is involved in these decisions.

Made in America Panel Disheartened that American Dream has Been Redefined As the Quest for Entitlements

Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America (now on 47 stations) by focusing on the latest lackluster job reports.  He noted that 130,000 new jobs last month won’t come close to filling the gap in a job picture that finds that 77 percent of new jobs are part-time – a wage that results in part-time workers five times more likely to live in poverty.

Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America (now on 47 stations) with an admonishment to the nation’s labor unions that fought hard to support passage of Obamacare only to back away once it passed and now are begging Obama for a waiver from the legislation they helped pass.  This is something beyond the capability of the rest of us, noted Neal.

I Stand With Veterans and Truckers

I Stand With Veterans and Truckers

In war, the term “collateral damage” is used when unintended victims are hurt or killed.

It seems to me that the current war in Washington over the future direction of our country is creating collateral damage not only among the people directly affected, but also to our sense of economic freedom.

People all over the nation have been impacted by the recent government standoff and subsequent shutdown. It particularly impacted two groups that should never be “punished” for their service. I’m talking ...
