Stop Inflation Now!
Alan Partis | January 24, 2010
Inflation. That word is one that strikes fear in the hearts of many by its mere mention. It is axiomatic that the prevailing economic condition, whether good or bad, has a big impact on all our lives and influences everything from where we go for vacations (if we go anywhere at all), how we shop, how we vote, and, for many, even how well we sleep. It was not so many years ago that our lives were very negatively impacted by inflation rates that topped 10%. Even inflation rates above 5% have proven to be very disruptive.
R.I.P. Socialism
Alan Partis | January 3, 2010
Will we not learn the lessons that history is teaching us and finally, once and for all, bury socialist philosophies in a cold grave?
Stimulus Not Stimulating
Alan Partis | July 8, 2009
While it is relatively old news and widely known that the Obama administration’s $787 billion stimulus package, also known as the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," wasn’t designed to dump large amounts of cash into the economy in a hurry, VP Joe Biden’s recent remarks about it are still striking1. Nor is [...]
Name One
Alan Partis | June 10, 2009
Mr. President, if you’re going to make claims about something highly doubtful, please be man enough to provide specific examples that back up your position.
I Want Obama to Fail
Alan Partis | June 9, 2009
Yes, I do want Obama to fail to implement his plans and agenda.
This Time I Mean It!
Alan Partis | June 9, 2009
President Obama has no credibility. He’s proved, on many occasions, that he’s willing to lie to the public and exaggerate his claims so as to manipulate an outcome that he desires. When my child does that, she gets grounded.
Slavery Isn’t So Bad, Is It?
Alan Partis | May 1, 2009
With some degree of success, I have made a lifetime of trying to make good decisions and working hard to be able to support my family without the need to burden others. I have taken responsibility for my actions and planned for future contingencies. Is it right that I should be enslaved so as to benefit others who have been poor decision makers, refused to work hard, or failed to plan ahead? I resent that a great many of the beneficiaries of my labors fit that very description.
Bad Medicine
Alan Partis | April 26, 2009
Mr. Frank’s proposal is very bad medicine, but is at least consistent with his well documented governmental philosophy. His past actions have proven that he is incapable of properly using debt and the the US financial system. The voters of his district in Massachusetts should replace him in office at their next opportunity, not just for their own good, but for the benefit of the Nation as well.
Is It Yours Now?
Alan Partis | April 10, 2009
From the start of his term, Obama has been saying that the economy, and its problems, are not ‘his’ responsibility. Now that he’s seeing more promising signs of recovery from the recession, will he also suddenly change his tune and claim it as ‘his’?
Just a boy from small-town western New York (Batavia) with strong convictions and a desire to express my opinions. I'm married and have a daughter with whom I am taking great pains to brainwash into my way of thinking (so far with great success).
Though I am a software engineer by day, I read a great deal about current events, history, and economics and philosophy. I'm certain that many of my former teachers will be pleasantly surprised to hear this. I've grown very interested in trying to help educate others about the liberty guaranteed to us in the United States Constitution and the economic theories on which this Country was founded.
