Made in America Panel Presses Obama to Recommit to Job Creation

Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America (now on 45 stations) by wondering why we have a president who wants to talk about everything but job creation, pivoting his attention on every issue that arises while ignoring 26 million unemployed and under-employed Americans.

Made in America welcomed Carl Schramm, bestselling author, economist and entrepreneur to the show as a first time guest.

Economic Pessimism Evokes Great Depression

Economic Pessimism Evokes Great Depression

A new story from The Associated Press stopped me in my tracks. The gap in employment rates between America’s highest- and lowest-income families has stretched to its widest levels since officials began tracking the data a decade ago.

Neal Asbury opened his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Made in America” show on Radio America (now on 45 stations) with his astonishment that President Obama is trumpeting the rise in U.S. oil exports while his administration continues to beat up the oil industry.

Co-host Dr. Rich Roffman characterized this as “oxymoronic.”
