Printing Money Doesn’t Work in Britain Either

by Bob Adelmann | 5:17 am, February 8, 2012

Of course not! Why would anyone conclude that errors are geographical? Errors are errors and attempts to reinflate the British economy using the same hot air compressors that we use here aren’t going to work any better over there than they have here.

Friday’s Unemployment Numbers: Correcting the Corrections

by Bob Adelmann | 8:11 pm, February 6, 2012

It’s awfully easy to accuse the BLS of fudging the numbers for political purposes, especially since an improving economy is likely to improve Obama’s chances for a second term. But honesty requires that we look more closely at those numbers.

World Economic Forum in Switzerland: Global Elites Celebrating Hypocrisy

by Bob Adelmann | 5:36 am, January 26, 2012

There’s nothing worse to chill the heart of a freedom fighter than to see the impossibly wealthy elites celebrating with their friends and colluding to reduce our freedoms.

Keynesian Economists Finally Catch Up and Agree: China to Have Hard Landing

by Bob Adelmann | 5:31 am, January 25, 2012

It’s one thing to see the destruction and admit that it exists. It’s something else entirely to admit that it was their failed Keynesian policies that caused the destruction. To these boneheads, economics isn’t a science, it’s an ideology.

Regime Uncertainty, Regulatory Surge, and Unemployment Numbers

by Bob Adelmann | 5:15 am, January 24, 2012

Not All Economic News is Bad News

by Bob Adelmann | 5:50 am, January 8, 2012

The closer I look at the situation in Europe and the increasingly desperate efforts by “the sad little entities” to save the euro and the European Union, the more persuaded I am that this is a hoax of the first order. It was never about free trade. It was always about political tyranny to be imposed as the cure for the crisis.

Irony Alert: Keynesian Economists Rip Obama for Failed Keynesian Policies

by Bob Adelmann | 5:05 am, January 5, 2012

Congress Asks IRS to Investigate AARP

by Bob Adelmann | 12:56 pm, January 3, 2012

My father considered the AARP the “old people’s labor union.” How close to the truth he was! AARP has figured out how to “game the system” expertly and maliciously.
