Pollsters Looking at Pollsters and Mittens Closing Strong

by Bob Adelmann | 7:46 am, November 5, 2012

I love it when someone sticks his neck out, and then looks around to see if anyone else is also. Hewitt is a talk show host and is great for finding out what others think and the riffing on that with his own comments. Sort of like what I do here. Hewitt thinks Romney is [...]

Looking Behind the Latest Jobs Report Numbers

by Bob Adelmann | 4:11 pm, November 4, 2012

As volatile and flimsy as the BLS numbers are, they cannot disguise an economy that is going nowhere, nor the trouble that Obama is in.

Taxmageddon Only Part of the Problem

by Bob Adelmann | 10:44 am, November 4, 2012

Considering the precarious position the country is in, it’s amazing that Congress looks like it’s going to do everything it can to put off into the future – punt, kick the can, whatever you choose – to avoid making any hard decisions today. I agree with Mark Twain.

Ann Coulter’s True Colors

by Bob Adelmann | 6:37 pm, November 3, 2012

For the most part I enjoy reading Ann Coulter’s columns. True, sometimes she is over the top with her vitriol, but most of the time her targets deserve it. But her column today betrays her. She makes two mistakes immediately – two incorrect assumptions in my view – and comes out with the inevitable wrong conclusion: Romney [...]

Obama Set to Unleash Tsunami of Regulations after the Election

by Bob Adelmann | 2:22 pm, November 3, 2012

“Presidents come and go but bureaucrats go on forever.” I said that at the end of this article, but I don’t really believe it. They operate with taxpayer dollars and if/when the flow of those dollars end, so do the bureaucrats. One can dream…

Political Problems for the Final Jobs Report

by Bob Adelmann | 6:46 pm, November 1, 2012

On Monday the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said it was doing everything it could to make sure that Friday’s jobs report – the last one before the election – would come out on time, despite Hurricane Sandy. The BLS is still smarting from attacks over its last report which showed an increase of 114,000 [...]

Preliminary GDP Report a Nasty October Surprise

by Bob Adelmann | 6:37 am, October 30, 2012

I didn’t mention that a lot of the GDP growth came from government spending. Gee, I wonder if that had anything to do with the election? Probably just a coincidence.

Layoffs Hit New High

by Bob Adelmann | 11:04 am, October 28, 2012

Bloomberg’s Chris Burritt reviewed the carnage on Wednesday: Ford is closing a car-assembly plant (the first one in ten years for the car-maker, with rumors of a second closing in early 2013), while Dow Chemical, DuPont and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have laid off 5,500 workers since the first of the year. Since September 1st, North [...]

“Harness the Wind”; Rep. Scott Tipton Speaks With PPC About His Energy and Education Bill

by Kelly Sloan | 4:44 pm, May 4, 2012

“Harness the wind” may sound like irritating far-left babble, the sort offered up by those more keen to loftily announce that a problem exists than to take on the work of solving it. However, on a sunny afternoon in Grand Junction, it summed up a solution to falling education figures, rising unemployment, and the deep unease many of us have with relying on unstable, hostile, or just plain loathsome governments for our oil. In an exclusive interview with People’s Press Collective in Grand Junction, the freshman Representative from Cortez spoke about his Education and Energy bill, which would forward royalties collected off of new federal mineral leases to state Education Departments.
